Retreat for Hair?

The Beatles helped shape the style of the '60s. Apart from their music, it was first their shaggy and then cascading hair that gave the young, especially in America, a cultural badge with which to dismay their parents, identify themselves and render barbers suicidal.

John kept his beard but emerged looking like an earnest young seminary student. Yoke's locks were cropped in the old Mia Farrow style. Their motive was to avoid being recognized in crowds, but American parents may hope, probably in vain, that the event will set a new tonsorial style for the '70s.
