...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...

...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. No questions asked...

Center Darryl Dawkins, 6 ft. 11 in., 251 lbs., was a tempestuous man-child who had skipped college and played wearing two gold necklaces and an earring. At his best, Guard Lloyd Free almost lived up to his self-appraisal as "All-World," but he was known as a gunner even on a team of determined shooters. True, Guards Doug Collins and Henry Bibby were willing to pass the ball, and, of course, Philly had the splendid...

...example, a mid-fifth century silver-gilt plaque of Nike, the Victory Goddess, from the Golyamata mound at Douvanli, is totally different in spirit from the famous Grecian golden Nike earring on permanent display in the museum. The Thracian piece is, first of all, virtually two dimensional by its nature, whereas the Greek version is a sculpture in miniature. Yet the Thracian Nike seems solid, almost archaic when compared with the delicacy and grace of the Athena Nike...
