...apparition like the singer himself been glimpsed around the White House lately-without being arrested on sight, that is. Bearded, sporting jeans and sneakers, with a bandanna tying back his shoulder-length red-brown hair and an earring dangling from his left ear, he comes on like some improbable blend of Celtic bard and Hell's Angel, with a smile straight out of Huckleberry Finn...
...with a fortune in endorsement insignia to grace his tennis togs; new women's No. 1 Martina Navratilova with a fortune in gold jewelry to adorn her now-winning form; Chris Evert with a list of crack hairdressers for prematch sprucing up; Vitas Gerulaitis with a list of ear-splitting discos for post-match winding down; Evonne Goolagong stayed home with her baby; Jimmy Connors brought his mother along. Only the place was unusual: the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, better known to generations of players and fans as Forest Hills, was under way at a new site in Flushing...
...Crowded Skies" [Aug. 14]. As a project evaluator for the Federal Government, I spent five weeks during June and July plying the heavens on various airlines.

Despite Bates, Hardy and the best efforts of everyone else, TV's Mayor of Casterbridge is only occasionally exciting...
...Ear Now For 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.
