From New York Magazine Blogs:
Interestingly, while some of history's most famous widow's peaks have been sported
by monsters and villains, a study by University of California-Irvine political science
professor Shawn Rosenberg showed that politicians with widow's peaks were viewed favorably.
"It was associated with being seen as more competent and with greater integrity,"
Rosenberg told the Post. Perhaps this a stealth strength Ryan brings to the ticket
which his many detractors are overlooking.
