Right now Stevie has everything going for him. Sitting up there onstage, his head bobbing and weaving sightlessly as though trying to tune in on some private radar of the mind, he recalls no one so much as his old idol to whom he used to listen on Detroit's WCHB, the blind rhythm-and-blues great, Ray Charles...
...Henry Kissinger's office, Yaacobi identified himself and explained that he would like to drop by to talk to the President's foreign policy adviser. Normally, such a request from a relatively unimportant visitor would be brushed aside as an intrusion on Kissinger's carefully rationed tune. Yaacobi's appointment, however, was promptly arranged for 4 p.m. that same day. Recalling the incident last week with a grin, Yaacobi explained: "I guess that's what you call having...
...Bain, their fiddler from the Shetlands, produces the music of what sounds like an orchestra of violins. A serious student of this century's champion fiddlers throughout Britain, he is able to recreate, for example, a dazzling fiddle tune in half a dozen incarnations representing different fiddling traditions.

Near by, 15 coeds responded by running naked outside their dormitory, and 25 other unclothed girls preened at the windows - all to the tune of the Missouri fight song played by a trumpeter in the crowd of 1,500 gaping spectators. In Columbia, S.C., dozens of nude males and females ran and rode bi cycles round the University of South Carolina student center. In New York City, some 40 Columbia University males cavorted in the buff...
