...public eventually, right? I ended up wearing a sign pinned to my lapel to explain my inability to speak, but I couldn't figure out the right wording. I'd change it, like, every day. If the wording was too soft, people would think I was doing an art project, like, "Hey, I'm trying to do this not-speaking thing. Please support me in this." But then on the other end if I got too extreme with it, people would be like, "Oh my God, are you O.K.?" I couldn't quite figure...
...knew how to make an entrance. Her dark hair cut in a severe pageboy, Ayn Rand would sweep into a room with a long black cape, a dollar-sign pin on her lapel and an ever present cigarette in an ivory holder. Melodramatic, yes, but Rand didn't have time to be subtle. She had millions of people to convert to objectivism, her philosophy of radical individualism, limited government and avoidance of altruism and religion. Her adoring followers--some called them a cult--revered her as the high priestess of laissez-faire capitalism until her death...

Ba-dum), all the while maintaining his trademark grin and superhuman cool. Watch out for that bridge to nowhere, though - and those piles of burning books at the Wasilla library...
...Despite not totally looking the part, the man wearing his wife's handmade U.S. flag pin on his funeral suit lapel was (mostly) given a warm welcome during his first stop in Chicago. He stopped in to see Zariff, the Chicago barber who has been cutting Obama's hair for the past 14 years. He sat on the same chair where Obama usually sits and got the same haircut - with scissors made in Japan - exactly the way Obama likes it. Between getting the Obama cut, eating his favorite food at his favorite Chicago diner, and sitting on the bench...
