...losing the power that enabled him to reach the back row without straining. And with his big voice he had the elusive personal magnetism and the dignity that grand opera demands. For a whole generation of operagoers, Pinza's Don Giovanni-in richly decorated doublet and single gold earring-was the virile embodiment of everything the role implied. Although Pinza could barely read music, he had a prodigious musical memory and a bone-deep sense of musical taste. He labored over makeup and stage business-he once spent hours hurling himself to the floor...

Manufacturers are taking no chances of missing the next turn of fashion, but they are not worried that earrings will ever go out of style. Reason: 30% of Britain's earring wearers now have pierced ears, v. only 5% two years ago. At that time, Cyril Wilkinson, an ear piercer, appeared on BBC's most popular television program, What's My Line?
