What's your pleasure? A "steel pianist" who plays Beethoven's Für Elise on the cut-off top of a 55-gal. oil drum? Step right up. A conga drummer with a silver earring in one nostril and a red gem in the other, or a classical guitarist in top hat, tails and tennis shoes? Right this way. String quartets, punk rockers, brass quintets, bagpipers, country crooners, dixieland stompers, ad hoc duos of every string, woodwind and percussive persuasion? Just around the corner...
...three close-knit Italian brothers who are able to break out of New York's slums on the strength of faith, perseverance and the fortunate circumstance that one happens to be an excellent wrestler.

...women who are loath to have their ears pierced, there is a new, no-bore way to wear earrings that nestle close to the lobe without clips. A magnetized earring is held in place by a minute cobalt-and-samarium magnet on the invisible side. Price: from $7.50 to $25. One trouble is that in telephonic or amatorial exercise the quarter-inch magnet is as easy to lose as a contact lens; some stores, like Saks Fifth Avenue, will remagnetize the lady without charge.
