After Presley's contract was sold to Colonel Tom Parker for $25,000, Perkins had a pop-and-country smash with Blue Suede Shoes, and Lewis followed a year later with the primal boogie Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On. On Dec. 4, 1956, Cash joined the rockers, now known as the Million Dollar Quartet, for an impromptu jam session. Astonishingly, Lewis--the all-time most reckless rock 'n' roller, whom Cash flew in to comfort when Lewis nearly died in the '80s--is the last man standing. "You know," he said in sad wonder last week, "I'm the only...

...signature dish of the Los Angeles restaurant A.O.C. is a small plate of English peas cooked with their own tendrils and a touch of green garlic. Cost: $8. Suzanne Goin, chef of the 8-month-old eatery, also offers bite-size portions of chicken with sorrel, black rice with squid and curried cauliflower. The dishes are all highly flavored and served up quickly. There are no entree-size portions. "I was afraid people wouldn't think of this as a place to have dinner," says Goin of her diminutive-dining concept. "But they went for it very quickly...

...Dialogue is minimal. Tarantino's trademark bouts of verbal incontinence and off-color humor are reserved for the script's meticulously detailed stage directions. One scene has The Bride "goin' Krakatoa all over whoever's ass happens to be in front of her at that time." Another calls for "the most disgusting jar of Vaseline in the history of cinema." Whereas in other screenplays the words "they fight" would suffice, Tarantino devotes most of the script?which took him nearly two years to complete?to outlining the action. He lays out precise requirements, dictating which historical genres...

...dozen or so kids at Step by Step activity center in Santa Monica, Calif., are bouncing off the walls--jumping, yelping, nearly out of control. Then the music begins. A jaunty tune called Goin' on a Bear Hunt fills the room, and almost instantly the little devils turn into perfect angels, standing in a circle, warbling in unison and acting out the lyrics...

...piano starts rumbling and, two beats later, J.M. Van Eaton's cymbals join in. After the four-bar intro (which he first used in his own composition "End of the Road," recorded November 14, 1956), Jerry Lee makes the vocal invocation: "Come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on!" It's a firm but liquid tenor, at times quavering with the infusion of the Spirit (perhaps holy, perhaps profane) that Jerry Lee heard and sang in the Assembly of God meetings of his youth. Which is of course at the sundered heart of his music: a wrasslin' match between...
