Negri has hair ! He hasn't changed much during the years. Maybe the frames of his glasses do play a role (in making him easier on the eye). Anyway, at 70 he's in perfect shape, likely due to the jails' diet.

as usual, you're wrong ;-) In Florence there had been a debate between Callinicos and Rossana Rossanda (the old lady of the Italian new left). You can judge her looks here (third tier of photos):
