At last month's Video Software Dealers Association convention, held in 115[degree] Las Vegas heat, Black, 25, stands in a black suit with a black sweater, his face multipierced and satanically goateed. His mother, a plump, pleasant-looking nurse from Rochester, N.Y., bursts into the curtained-off adult section of the convention floor toting her favorite actor, Shemar Moore, who plays Malcolm on The Young and the Restless.

Those of you who bemoan the loss of Hannah's golden tresses can take comfort in the thought that at least she didn't take the part...
...tells it in her newest book, Joyce Maynard received a mimeograph machine from her mother for her seventh birthday. Not lacking in initiative, young Maynard began producing a newspaper and selling it door to door. "It would never occur to me that our neighbors wouldn't be interested to read what I write. Or that I shouldn't charge a nickel for it. Later a dime," Maynard notes. "My mother schools me young to view my writing as valuable.
