RE: Powell's Hair being "Filed?" What's THAT about?!
When my father was a POW in WWII, he said they would shave their heads because of the lice.

The conspirator's trial occurred durring a hot summer, and those prison cells probably didn't have much for air ventilation.
Since Powell had to endure wearing the hood (and a padded one at that) longer than anyone else, maybe the short hair cut was an effort to make his imprisonment a little more tolerable?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
