...entered with his infant son pressed against his chest, Matisyahu was met with spontaneous and jubilant applause from a surprised group of students who did not expect the singer, who wears the traditional payos of side curls, to be well over six feet tall...
...Hayes is tall, completely bald and fond of odd sartorial combinations. One day when we met, he wore black leather shoes with an unfashionably large buckle, gray pants that were too short and a gigantic double-breasted jacket. He once lived on a commune, and he still wears an oversize ring that he said was made by Zuni Indians. "I traded it for some contraband in the '60s in Taos," he told me.

One learns not to question his ability to make calculations. At one stage, I ask him to figure out how tall the 8 billion Web pages that Google once said it indexes would be if they were stacked pieces of paper. He quickly comes up with an answer, then keeps crunching numbers in his head as we discuss other issues. Finally, after recalculating his estimate for paper width, he blurts out: "500 miles...
