...Bing has had 28 stitches taken in his face, and the fingers of his right hand have been jammed so often that he tapes a sponge above his knuckles for protection. But Detroit will keep him out there if they have to stick him together with Elmer's Glue-All. A couple of years ago, the Pistons occasionally had trouble luring 1,000 people into Cobo Arena to see them play. This year, attendance averages 7,500, and six times has topped the 10,000 mark.

Each unclad figure took two days to build...
Getting Itchy. Katz has his eye on a bigger package. In 1960, he paid $1,700,000 for the 91-year-old Massachusetts firm of LePage's, which makes glue and adhesive tape. He has since streamlined the operation, cutting out unprofitable lines, and LePage's is now in the black. Last year Papercraft entered a new field-that of vinyl tablecloths and place mats that look like lace-by buying out the Eastern Industrial Plastics Corp., since renamed American Universal Plastics...
