Bathtub Regatta THE SHOW-OFF The String- String-and-Ring Sting By TOM FERRELL and LEE EISENBERG The virtue of this little beauty lies in its use of everyday materials to produce an effect totally beyond the comprehension of the observer. In fact, we're not so sure we comprehend it ourselves, but we're going to show you how it's done all the same; then you can figure it out at leisure. What happens is, you thread a loop of string through the middle of a ring (or anything else with a hole in it) and ask the middle of the strings, to hold the string on reach over the near someone string his fingers (fig. 1).

Then, by a with the left hand, grasp the few deft manipulations, you far string, and pull it toward the ring from the you over the top of the near remove string, without ever lifting the string (fig. 2). string off the fingers.

4.. 5 Oakland AM Tribune Aug. 24, 1974, 17-E finally MARCY BACHMANN The 10 Sexiest Men You're normally quick wit is lying like a puddle of butterscotch pudding at the bottom of your brain. You're standing more out of habit than physical ability. A 14-pound cantaloupe is reclining in your stomach, and, on second thought, you'd better sit down.

The symptoms, not unusual in the least, are often present when you come face to face with a person abundantly endowed with sex appeal. He may be married, single, short, tall, bald or beautiful, carting college textbooks or carrying a Social Security card, but he radiates that elusive, intangible quality that absolutely knocks you out. What you're would MARCY BACHMAN thinking make Masters and Johnson blush, and the best you can do is hope it isn't written all over your face. But you know it is. That's how you'll feel when you meet the 10 sexiest men in the Eastbay.

Taking into account that what shivers one woman's spine might not make a ripple on another's, the list attempts to have something for every woman and is not necessarily arranged in order of appeal. Enjoy. I. PHIL VILLAPIANO, 25, Oakland Raiders linebacker. The body beautiful.

Six-feet-2 and 220 pounds of well-developed super athlete, topped by a mass of romp-your-them ringlets. A living, breathing Greek statue. RES CLONE Pull out some slack, and loop it once around your victim's right index finger (left from your point of view) (fig. 3), and let go with the right hand, but keep holding on to the string in your left (fig. 4).

Next, with your right hand reach over the near string on the right side of the ring, grab the far string, and pull it into another loop over the right (left, as we said, from your point of view) index finger of the patsy (fig. 5). Don't let go with the left hand yet. And don't worry about where the ring has slid to by now. Finally, grab the ring with your right hand.

Let go of the string in your left hand. Pull gently on the ring (fig. 6). The strings will all slide around a little bit and the ring will be free. If you don't believe us, just try it.

Now you know the fundamentals; variations are up to your ingenuity. Gilt string from Christmas wrappings makes the whole trick particularly tasteful; or if your style of showing off calls for gigantism, you might want to use big piece of rope and a bicycle tire.
