“Albany is a man’s town — a 100 per cent masculine Burg. There are no lounge lizards, no whiskered vampirinos here.
This has been proved by an investigation made to-day by a reporter for the Times-Union, who visited all of the beautifying parlors and the “make-up” shops. Other cities may stand for this sort of thing, and some of them do, but this grand old Dutch burg won’t have it.
The men of Albany are too busy to bother about their makeup. That is, they don’t neglect themselves or anything like that, but as for letting themselves to be strapped in a chair while their eyebrows are plucked out or having their hair marcelled; nix, nix! In barber shops? Oh, yes, some of the fastidious ones do go the limit on the massage stuff and insist on a jab or two of the curious aromatic hair tonics. But that’s the limit. Cosmetics and perfume, so far as Albany men are concerned, are taboo.
Paul Duerr, beauty culture expert, of 111-116 State Street, allowed that in his opinion there is not one man in Albany who seeks artificial beauty.”

Senate GOP leader seeks casinos
Las Vegas-style gambling casinos could be in the offing for New York State if Senate Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges had his way in the 1971 legislature. A longtime foe of gambling as a revenue-producing source, Brydges said the state had “now gone too far down the road to turn back” and may as well get into an area of gambling where there was the most money. He told a news conference he was sponoring a casino proposal which would offer roulette, cards, dice, one-armed bandits and other games similar to ones in Las Vegas, Bahamas and Bermuda.
