Famous Cellist Injured in Harlem Scuffle (UPS) -

   After performing for a standing room only crowd in Lincoln
Center, internationally known cellist Yo Yo Ma, accompanied by 
several companions, traveled uptown to catch some late night
entertainment in Harlem.
   Outside the establishment an arguement and then a scuffle
ensued, resulting in some minor cuts and abrasion to Mr. Ma.
He was released after treatment and his performances will go
on as scheduled.
   Questioning of the suspects revealed that when one of them
asked Mr. Ma his name, he thought Mr. Ma was insulting him by
saying "Yo Ma Ma."
