The New York Times thought it was newsworthy. So did Washington Post. So CBS sent Jim Axelrod out to see if he too could find something interesting in the phenomenon that a middle aged man like Barack Obama "is adding salt to his pepper." Axelrod mused about a reverse Grecian Formula. "There was talk during the campaign that maybe he was dying his hair gray to look more seasoned," was his culinary pun. He pinned down Zariff, the First Barber, who swore that the First Locks were "100% natural." So Axelrod turned his story into an opportunity to tease Ronald Reagan. Bill Clinton went gray while in office as did both George Bushes--but not The Gipper. "Did he get any help from the bottle?" Axelrod grilled Reagan's onetime Chief of Staff: "To the very, very best of my knowledge, Hell No!" came Kenneth Duberstein's non-denial denial.
