/* ---------- "In Support of A Friend" ---------- */
	Friends and relatives of Manuel Garcia, a cancer patient who has lost
most of his hair while undergoing Chemotherapy, formed an unusual support
group: They shaved their heads so that his baldness would not maked him feel
conspicuous...
Mrs. Garcia said her husband looked 100% better after the show of support,
and Garcia pronounced himslef "ready for anything."

from AP/American Medical News, Aug 2., p.13.
