Las Vegas' talking heads require the right kind of hair if they're to capture the loyalty of viewers -- sure, it's shallow but we're talking about a looks- and entertainment-driven form of journalism in which ratings remain the bottom line. Paula Francis' well-cut coif on KLAS-TV, Channel 8, captured the readers' nod of approval in this new category. Rikki Cheese of KVBC-TV, Channel 3, finished a close second in a heady battle among readers.
