...Bridget Fonda. Two simple words: "Floss regularly." Shorn of pretense and ringing with truth. Undaunted by the mundane at this august moment in the history of Western civilization is cnn legal analyst Greta Van Susteren. On the eve of the new millennium, she vows "to learn to comb my hair before my show rather than after." Medical and personal-grooming resolutions happen to be among my favorites. Here are two that I may or may not use this year, so feel free to borrow them if you'd like: "To actually mail in those occult fecal-blood tests that doctors...
...remembered foremost for its science and technology--in particular for our ability to understand and then harness the forces of the atom and the universe--one person stands out as both the greatest mind and paramount icon of our age: the kindly, absentminded professor whose wild halo of hair, piercing eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius: Albert Einstein...
Unlike the avuncular caricature of his later years who left his hair unshorn, helped little girls with their math homework and was a soft touch for almost any worthy cause, Einstein is emerging from these documents as a man whose unsettled private life contrasts sharply with his serene contemplation of the universe.

Maybe the youngsters who were singled out had prior records...
...your report on the meeting between Suha Arafat, Yasser Arafat's wife, and Hillary Clinton [WORLD, Dec. 6], you referred to Suha's "bottle-blond tresses." I never knew that hair color was a quality that determined the competence of an individual. Perhaps to be fair minded you should also have commented on the tresses of Hillary Clinton; her hair today is virtually the same shade as Suha's. But Hillary has not been a natural blond since she was a child. Maybe the two women even use the same commercial shade! Let's forget the size, colors and looks...
