McGraw makeover

Is it possible that Harold McGraw III, chairman of McGraw-Hill Co, has discovered the fountain of youth?

More to the point, Lai See is keen to know where he found it.

Going through our archives recently, we spotted a picture of Mr McGraw testifying before a House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade in 2000. He must have been under a lot of stress at the time, looking like most men do in their 50s - complete with wrinkles on the forehead, a receding hairline and greying temples.

Fast forward to 2003, however, and it's as though a new man has emerged - or a different man, in this case.

In his most recent picture - admittedly taken during a television interview last year - the great grandson of McGraw-Hill's founder is barely recognisable. There's more hair for one, while the wrinkles have vanished and the grey has gone. Even his hands look smoother.
