Fontanne's pet goose did not bite him. "I suppose he knew it was my birthday," said Alfred Lunt, 76. The quiet celebration took place on the Lunts' 110-acre country place in the rolling dairyland west of Milwaukee, where they have lived since their last major stage appearance in The Visit eight years ago. But the two troupers are still not ready to ring down the final curtain. Says Mrs. Lunt: "I'd probably swing back into my job if something really good came along." Says Mr. Lunt: "It's not over yet, you know...
Unattached Eyeballs. Grandville's favorite creatures were frogs, which he used to symbolize children, clowns, or murder victims, and he kept a pet frog on his drawing table. Insects, too, fascinated him. With his thin spidery line, he created a whole metaphorical insectarium-emperor moths confer with dung beetles, frivolous lady bugs are escorted by loutish caterpillars, cricket barkers play to snails and turtles...
...Czarina Alexandra. On a visit to the U.S. last week, she found an important backer: Maria Rasputin, 69, daughter of the "mad monk" who held dark dominance over the Czarina.

Price: 100,000 shares of Downe stock, worth about $5,400,0000. Downe hopes to boost the Journal's circulation and ad revenue without changing either its staff or, more important, its basic philosophy-"never underestimate the power of a woman...
...life and love of a young Negro couple. Fine in theory, but why did he have to do it in a story that not even the most gullible honky would buy? Poitier cast himself as a slick hustler in a continental-cut tux who spouts fluent Japanese, keeps a pet piranha, sits in on bongos and serves as baby sitter for a brood of Negro children, while running a trucking concern by day and a casino-on-wheels by night. Abbey Lincoln as Ivy is a sweet gal, but for a low-salaried suburban house maid, she sports a wardrobe...
