On the "parting the hair behind" theme we have a brief discussion of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's change in hairstyle on a webpage entitled "Proof the terrorists have not won" at rec.Humor.Funny http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/02/Sep/hair.html It says: Proof the terrorists have not won From an article on Yahoo News: "Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has given up his comb-over hairstyle in favor of a straight-back 'do that is winning rave reviews .... Giuliani's new style got a worldwide debut at the World Trade Center memorial ceremony on Wednesday, when he began the reading of victims' names." Let's see ...

Who says America hasn't gotten back to normal? Regards, Rick Parker
