- PEOPLE, Page 71Jackson: Saving Face
-
-
- By MICHAEL QUINN

- "Wacko Jacko." "Cracko Jacko." The demure British tabloids
- delight in such derision of the one-man music industry called
- MICHAEL JACKSON. But when London's Daily Mirror scorned not
- Jackson's sanity but his looks, the singer struck back. Last
- week Jackson kicked off a concert tour of Britain with a lawsuit
- against the Mirror for writing that a lifetime of plastic
- surgery has whittled him down to "a phantom with a sadly scarred
- face that seems ready to fall apart." A meticulously labeled
- diagram of the supposed cosmetic catastrophe was thoughtfully
- included. Jackson seeks an apology and hefty damages. Black
- shades and dangling hair thwarted the curious when the superstar
- surfaced at a London children's hospital with a classically
- Jacksonian retinue: executives, camera crews -- and Mickey
- Mouse.
