December, 1899. At a board meeting of the American Beard
Association, top-ranking member, the President of the United
States, William McKinley, made a shock proclamation. He was
going to have to shave off his beard.
Citing complaints from his wife that it had become too
scratchy, plus a note from his doctor stating that beard-rot
had set it, he announced that he would stand down from his
position on the board immediately.
The history books tell us he was assassinated by an
"anarchist", just two years later.
