...Perkins taped a rockabilly revival for Britain's Channel 4, to be broadcast on New Year's Day. For the 30th-anniversary celebration of his platinum platter Blue Suede Shoes, Perkins played a set of vintage rock 'n' roll with a little help from such admirers as Eric Clapton, Dave Edmunds, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Rock groupies were impressed by an even unlikelier occurrence: Harrison, who lost his wife Patti Boyd to Clapton in 1974, joking onstage with his onetime rival.

Steps Going Down (Countryman Press; 307 pages; $14.95) omits Author Joseph Hansen's recurring sleuth, Insurance Investigator Dave Brandstetter, but unfolds in his usual seedy gay Southern California milieu.

Oh yeah, and the forever favorite: the soundtrack of ‘Labyrinth...
...President began his second term, Stockman had the air of weariness that comes from too many losing struggles. Yet he kept at it, arguing that 1985 was the only chance to put aside the political posturing and make major cuts before the opportunity was lost. "Dave is the only one still going at the old man," said a top Reagan adviser earlier this year...
