Elvis impersonator

New phenomena . . . Ana and George Domenikos formally pledged to shake, rattle and roll together for the rest of their lives at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on Saturday, with a serenade from Elvis impersonator Norm Jones. The couple, who had dreamed of an Elvis wedding, had flown in from Boston for the day.

The story not only highlights a new romantic trend, but also alerts us to one of the biggest potential dangers of the 21st century in America. Some statisticians have shown that since there were around 33 Elvis impersonators when the ''King'' allegedly died in 1977, and at least 23,000 at the last count in 1993, by the year 2020 one in three of the US population will be attempting to look like Elvis. A grim thought.
