Most statesmen and businessmen alike adopt that type. Maybe it is the business haircut.

....I think that's what you call a 'standard' haircut for anyone professional. Looks good on him. I used to get haircuts like that. You have to go to a barber shop to get one of those. The place that has combs in jars of blue stuff. Only men are given haircuts, women are forbidden, and you can get a hot shave from a blade that would slice your neck open.
None of that feminine speaking 'hair stylist' men moosing up your hair like a panzy.

Waterston does look distiguished.
I'd never want to be that coiffed myself though.
