With the grace of wit and no chalkboard sermonizing, Enid Bagnold tells us to stop cutting our nails and gaze into the silent pool of revelation. - By T.E. Kalem

Frescoes cover the walls and ceiling of Armani's office, from which mythological characters gaze impassively at the modern furniture (including a couple of nifty long draftsman's desks designed by Armani), models, staff and assorted items of evolving wardrobe. Armani has positioned paneling and mirrors around the room so that the frescoes can claim his attention only from above. "In Florence, you would look...
