	(In this case) I'm not interested - it was just an amused obser-
vation.  But, just for the sake of argument, why shouldn't I be ?  I do
not disassociate a man from his ideas (esp. a philosopher) and hence I'm
as interested in his physical self as his thoughts - this has to do with
a broader definition of truth about which I do not want to delve - for the
time being let's assume that a conflict should not exist between thought/word
and deed.  It's precisely this (conflict) that I see in the "hiding" of the
baldness.
