...three disabilities that pelvis-twirling Elvis Presley might most fear are a sore throat, a dislocated hip, or an injury to his guitar-strumming paw. During his recent Army draftee stint he was briefly silenced by tonsillitis. Last week, during a touch-football game in home-town Memphis, Elvis dived at the ball carrier, broke the little finger of his string-zinging hand. His hips, however, are still swinging...
