...look at -- knockouts, a couple of them. They are also played by men. This twist gives the burlesque a wierd glow and cues some wonderfully precise writing and acting. Pageant, conceived and directed by Robert Longbottom, never degenerates into drag queens unchained. Like Miss Industrial Northeast (Joe Joyce), who roller-skates while playing the Sabre Dance on her accordion, the show is perfectly poised on the precipice of farce. And like Miss West Coast (John Salvatore), who performs an interpretive dance called "The Seven Ages of Me," Pageant is all about ego and the denial of self -- about the eagerness...
...Castillito complex along the Malecon, for instance, boasts two restaurants, a video room with Sony TVs, a roller-skating rink, a disco with an Italian-designed light system and a pool with cavorting men and women. The entry fee to the government-operated club is only 1 peso (6 cents), a steal compared with the admission price at the Havana Club.

The Texas-size Second Baptist Church of Houston, for instance, features a movie theater, weight rooms and saunas, a TV production center and outdoor and indoor gardens. The Family Life Center at Arizona's North Phoenix Baptist Church has its own gym, roller rink and racquetball courts...

...thrill and the problem with in-line skates is that they go much faster -- up to 30 m.p.h. -- than roller skates and are difficult to stop. Most accidents involve first timers who have had little or no instruction. And though there is good protective gear available, a majority of bladers prefer to breeze along unpadded. The most feared injuries are to the head, yet few bladers will deign to don helmets. "They're hot inside and mess up your hair," says Neil Feineman, author of a how-to book for skaters entitled Wheel Excitement. Although he always wears a helmet...
