...patients, some of whom were bald: "In most cases hair grows on the scalp for about eight weeks, attaining normal thickness and a length of around three-quarters of an inch. Then it falls out, and the growing process begins again." Such hair today, gone tomorrow results do not bother some medical students. They reportedly have been rubbing a crude minoxidil lotion on their thinning peaks...
...investors--and every indication is that Granville meets that criterion. He told the Boston Globe in an interview last fall that he would use his "sell signal" sometime this winter, and use it he did. And the thought that he had sent the stock market plunging did not bother Granville; indeed, he seemed to relish the notion that he and his friendly indicators had "read" the market.

Moreover, no movie can keep up with the breakneck pace of a cartoon. Yet Altman seems to have all the ingredients for a blockbuster film. He succeeds in creating a busy visual and auditory atmosphere, but he fails to take advantage of his opportunity for free play on several levels. As just two examples, he throws in a few bits of scatological humor, and completely avoids using the Popeye story...
