- <p> That wasn't the Grinch who stole aboard the Queen Mary on
- Christmas Eve and handed three mustachioed employees their pink
- slips. No, the killjoy was the Walt Disney Co., whose grooming
- code forbids facial hair. Two years ago, Disney took over the
- Queen, a popular tourist attraction in Long Beach harbor,
- Calif. After the clean-shaven rule was imposed last month, some
- 200 hirsute workers yielded to the policy, but veteran waiter
- Reza Nazertehrani refused--and lost his job. Says he: "I have
- a right to decide how to take care of my face." Perhaps even
- the firm's founder wouldn't have passed inspection. Happy New
- Year, Walt Disney, you're fired.
