...outgrown its parameters, traditionally described by the rebelliousness of youth and the self-consciousness of show business. It has become grey, middleaged, ubiquitous and eminently respectable, a coast-to-coast phenomenon that has infiltrated even the U.S. Army, that last bastion of the butch. Last March at Fort Ord, Calif., by command of the commanding officer, the compulsory 30-second scalp job for all recruits was succeeded by a permissive repertory of six hair styles...
