...imitations, from Fabian, Sal Mineo, and Joey Castle to Conrad Birdie. Only the Everly Brothers can match Elvis's dual line of songs--distinct yet composed of the same ingredients--that both define the pinnacle. Don't Be Cruel, Blue Suede Shoes, and Too Much led down to Teddybear, Wear My Ring, and on to Little Sister, Return to Sender, and Devil in Disguise (one of the few masterpieces in the recently-released Elvis' Golden Records--Volume 4). And while some critics have proclaimed the death of this line, the King's current smash, U.S. Male, is meaner, ornier...

Come sundown, businessmen who wouldn't be caught dead in the office with anything but a clean-shaven face add paste-ons for a bristling night on the town. "It's strictly for evening wear, for theater and discotheques," says Dr. Allan Lazar, 30-year-old Manhattan periodontist, describing his new mustache and goatee. Sybil Burton Christopher reckons that at least half of the popular Pancho Villa or Zapata mustaches seen in her Manhattan discotheque, Arthur, are phonies. Narcotics agents regard hoked-up hairiness as an invaluable aid in infiltrating hippie drug circles, and servicemen feel an added...
