Fine Bindings. He gave up his California home and, although he kept an apartment in Manhattan, Rubinstein has always considered Paris his home base. He maintains a house there, on the Rue Foch, next door to Debussy's old home, as well as a summer place on the Costa del Sol. Still, he rarely gets a chance to stay in one place for long. He has never stopped living well, and indeed, next to his music, he loves traveling best. "If I were not a pianist," he says, "I would be a travel agent." He could also be a professional...

After 18 years in the ring and 129 pro fights, Joey Giardello is too much of a pragmatist to rue what might have been. He has, after all, a wife, four children and a $35,000 home in Cherry Hill, N.J. How many fighters can claim that? But Joey was already an old man of 33 before he got a crack at the world middleweight championship.
