A Close Shave Fills Walesa With Regret
AND FINALLY...
*
Lech Walesa, who once turned down a U.S. razor company’s million-dollar offer to shave his trademark drooping walrus mustache for an ad campaign, has at last taken a razor to his upper lip. But he’s not happy with the results.
“I wanted to cause a bit of a fuss over the summer holidays, but my wife, Danuta, and I realized it wasn’t a good idea,” said the former leader of the Solidarity trade union that toppled the country’s Communist regime.
Danuta Walesa said her husband had shaved without telling her. But she said the mustache was already growing again.
