Star of the shows in both cities was Emilio Pucci, the prince of pants. With print patterns more brilliant than ever, he served up palazzo pajamas, long silk dresses in floral motifs. Princess Irene Galitzine, whose clients include Charlotte Ford Niarchos, showed sarongs and bras for sleeping, a long transparent raincoat and-along with practically everybody else-yards of pants.

While four chorus girls warbled songs, Prince recited the story line and passed around a fifth of Scotch, a bag of potato chips and a ballpoint pen for prospective angels.

There was just a straightforward, rather lackluster debate that was cut off after a mere 24 days when the Senate invoked cloture.
