I just blame my facial hair on Spiro Agnew. Back when he was still the VP he was giving a speech in Montgomery, Al and I had to go cover it for Time Magazine. The place where I worked insisted I "look professional" so I had to go home and shave and change into a coat & tie. As I was shaving I cut my lip real bad and had to hold a bandage on it to keep it from bleeding a lot.
As the secret service inspected my camera gear to make sure it was really camera gear and not a weapon I was still holding a paper towel to my lip. It was tough to take pictures and in the end some other story bumped that story and Time never used those photos.
I probably have a scar there but I have not seen my lip since Agnew was VP. He resigned as VP on October 10, 1973. Dang, over 40 years ago!
