What happens when we judge by appearance?
When the life we've envisioned runs afoul, how do we respond? If you're Elle Woods, you refute the fetal position and stride into action. There's a plentiful array of dramatic and real-life precedents stretching to antiquity. The literary and visual embodiment is Themis, the Greek goddess of law, order, and justice, portrayed in statuary holding a scale, her eyes veiled. The underlying context, grounded in the concept of "divine" rather than human ordinance, arises from the concept of putting things [and people] in their proper place.

The Daily Heller: Being the Bard of Beards …
Today, The Daily Heller answers the quiz from Friday and offers a brief anecdote about beards. The bard—or, more accurately, the historian of at least one famous beard—is Susannah Koerber, chief curator at the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, which holds one of the country’s most important collections relating to Abraham Lincoln and his times. She reports that a precocious11-year-old girl from New York State named Grace Bedell had persuaded the future president into growing his iconic facial tuft. Bedell wrote to then-candidate Lincoln on Oct. 15, 1860: “I have got four brothers, and a part of them will vote for you anyway, and if you will let your whiskers grow, I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you. You would look a great deal better, for your face is so thin,” she implored with wisdom older than her years, then added, “All the ladies like whiskers, and they would tease their husbands to vote for you, and then you would be president.”
