But Ruby was a real cop buff-he was always hanging around headquarters, and so became a familiar figure. Aside from all that, Ruby was a health nut. He was worried about his falling hair and sought the services of Dallas Trichologist Bruce McLean. "I've known him well since 1958," says McLean. "He's excitable.
