Amran Lubbad lay sleepless in Gaza early in the morning of Jan. 23. Lubbad, a darkly handsome Palestinian, was going to be united with Hiba, his fiancé in Egypt. He had treated himself to a sharp new haircut. The pair have been engaged for two years, but Israel and Egypt sealed off the border with Gaza in early 2006, and Hiba was trapped on the other side. At last, Lubbad had scraped together $1,500 to smuggle her through a sandy tunnel under the border fence...
...series of missteps that damaged his image as a crusader for the poor. First came a spate of stories when Edwards built a $6 million home on 100 acres outside Chapel Hill in 2005. Then came an embarrassing disclosure that he paid $400 for his carefully coifed haircut. Finally, it turned out working with non-profits wasn't the only thing Edwards, a former trial lawyer whose estimated personal worth is as much as $30 million, did after the 2004 elections; he also worked for a New York hedge fund, earning an undisclosed sum.

Yeah, that’s gotta be it! Wild haircut, hardened visage: the guy looks like a criminal possessed of almost monk-like concentration. And hey, if joining the iPod Cult can make that guy cool, then maybe I should join! After all, college is about trying new things, like fringe religions! And think of all the benefits of cult...
...summons, however, Larios and Rodriguez prefer to respect barber-client privilege, especially with their bigger clients - the ones who have outgrown the chair, so to speak. Arnoldo Alem?n, the portly former president convicted on embezzlement charges, now sends a car and driver to fetch Rodr?guez to do a home haircut, for which the barber charges double, or $9. Miguel Obando y Bravo, who used to come into the shop when he was just Archbishop of Managua, started sending the car after the Pope named him cardinal...
