Washington Monthly, Jan-Feb, 2003 by Susan Threadgill

CNN "Inside Politics" host Judy Woodruff, whose reporting was among the snippiest ("Kerry is already in denial mode"), spends $80 on her golden locks at the Four Seasons Spa Salon on Pennsylvania Ave. Boston-area gossip columnists are also in Kerry's league, though it seems Boston Globe staffers place a higher premium on style than their crosstown rivals at the Boston Herald.

The Globe's Carol Beggy regularly spends $86 at Vidal Sassoon on posh Newberry St., while colleague Stephanie Stoughton takes the prize as the only journalist to admit to spending $100--"going all out" at a downtown salon on one occasion. She normally frequents a shop in her Jamaica Plain neighborhood, where cuts are in the $20 range. The Herald's Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa, spend $45 and $65, respectively.
