TWO New York dermatolo-
gists told The Wall Street
Journal that five to 10 of their
face-lift patients a month opt
also to tighten what they
believe are their droopy ear
lobes, at about $750 a pair.

Said Dr. Bruce Katz, some
patients tell him they want
lobes similar to those of Demi
Moore, Kathie Lee Gifford and
Sting. Said one extremely satis-
fied, 52-year-old Katz patient,
“I have the ear lobes of a
teenager.”

Fred Sandback’s works at
- the Forum for Contemporery
Art in St. Louis consisted only
of string or wire laid out to the
walls and floors of the gallery.

According to a St. Louis
Post-. -Dispatch critic, Sandback’s
tying string in a triangle sha
“brings with it the illusion Of
weight” and is the “most dra-
matic” of four new pieces done
specially for the show.

Finishing a close second in
the critic’s mind was tying two
parallel lengths of string from
the floor to the ceiling, a
“work” “that can be experi-
enced as columns or as a

restatement, in the air, of
notions [of canvas-based
artists]” and which provided
“succor.”

Adding to the list of stories
thar were formerly weird but
which now occur with such fre-
quency that they must be
retired from circulation:

* Parents who run afoul of
Jaws even in modern democra-
cies that prohibit their giving
their children certain names,
such as the Guillot family, who
lost a 13-year court battle in
October in France to name
their daughter “Fleur de
Marie” (Flower of Mary)
because it did not appear on
the list of Roman Catholic
saints’ names and also because
forenames cannot have prepo-
sitions;

© And the needy drug user
so oblivious of reality that
when he comes upon a large-
scale, loud, chaotic police raid
in progress at his dealer’s
home, he nonetheless insists on
purchasing from one of the
officers, as Tomano Summa,
36, was accused of doing in
Boston this past summer.
