POP CULTURE: Beard Surgery
USA Today has a great headline (fifth down): "ZZ Top still rocking after Beard surgery". Actually, it's just an appendectomy for drummer Frank Beard.
Also in today's issue: President Bartlett's post-September 11 bounce didn't have the same staying power as Bush's. What will he do? Scare the old folks about Social Security? Play the race card? I'm betting on a sex scandal and a special prosecutor . . .
