Paulson and Hayden - New act In White House

Source: NY Times

The last two day's front page of the NY Times shows photographs of two nearly bald replacements to George Bush's administration. Henry Paulson as the new Treasury Secretary and General Michael Hayden to head up the C.I.A. Both are almost bald with sidecars of white short hair. Now I can't make anything of this, but it is an observation. There is something about those bony skulls that does suggest a no-nonense kind of person. It's a globe rather than a head. One feels that hair has abandoned the head so that the head can rule the person. Now, we can't call them egg heads because that is reserved for intellectuals. No one has said that either of these men is an intellectual. Smart, tough, capable, might work. That does concern me. JFK brought in academics and Bush brings in a millionaire and a general who might be mistaken for egg heads....(to head up).. .but aren't really. Trying to put one over on us George?
