Happy Papa. Cribmaking reached a peak in the 17th and 18th centuries, and there were no inhibitions against anachronism; in one Augsburg crib the Annunciation takes place in a miniature Louis XVI drawing room with the Angel Gabriel dressed like a court page...

...drab suburb of Arcueil, four miles south of Paris, stands an undistinguished building with a partly frosted glass window through which may be glimpsed a plaster angel negligently hung upside down. A bronze shingle on the door identifies the place as the foundry of the Susse Brothers, a name as famous among modern sculptors as Benvenuto Cellini's. Many major sculptors will have their works cast by no other foundry...

...angel descended last year on unsuspecting Davidson College (enrollment: 920) near Charlotte, N.C. He was a lively, white-mustached angel with a resemblance to Teddy Roosevelt-and $400,000 under his wing. The cash proved that he was very much of this world, and so did his terms: the Presbyterian men's school could have the money for a sorely needed science building-if it raised another $700,000.

As Verdi's consumptive heroine, she demonstrated last week that her acting is almost as good as her voice. Strikingly handsome in a hoopskirted, bare-shouldered, pink ball gown, she made the Violetta of Act I into a moving figure of feverishly hectic gaiety. As the opera progressed, the coquettish attitudes gave way gradually, until by the final act Violetta emerged...

...reports the tourist, "an angel all over the Krémlin." Decent Marxists, of course, are not supposed to believe in supernatural beings, but they might find it easier to believe in angels than in Eloise, the wildly implausible moppet who usually lives at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel with her nanny, dog Weenie and turtle Skipperdee. Two years ago her devoted biographers, Nightclub Comic Kay Thompson and Illustrator Hilary Knight, described how she cut a rug at Maxim's in Paris. In this, her fourth appearance, Eloise dons raccoon coat and diplomatic pout to travel to Moscow, where...
