THE LAST WEEK of April, the American Retreaders Association shared the Executive Inn, Louisville, Ky., with a collection of dwarves, freaks, dope dealers, high wire acts, aerial motorcyclists, a few journalists, a mother and son balancing act, a Chinese woman who dangles from arena ceilings "suspended only by the hair of her head," and a couple of rock and roll bands.
