Women's styles currently tend to taper close to the nape of the neck with close sides and a fuller crown. "A lot of people like to see their ears now," says Michael DiBlasi owner of Michael's Hair Design at 1105 Mass.

According to Olivas, the five khaki-uniformed guards who met Aquino aboard China Airlines Flight 811 were unarmed. As Aquino stepped off the plane, escorted by the guards, a single fatal bullet entered the nape of his neck and passed in a downward path through his chin.
