...London TV studio, Enceinte Terrible Eartha Kitt, 33. slunk before the cameras in a gown considerably more billowy than her wonted tattoo-tight attire, but not billowy enough to conceal her six-month condition. Called upon to mount a stool for one of her numbers, the sultry South Carolina songstress found it a struggle, outraged Britain's myriad Mrs. Grundys (and snarled network telephone switchboards with carping calls) by chuckling: "Okay, Junior, this is the last engagement...
...that could be Mammoth Cave swallowing the Parthenon of Nashville, the American Shakespeare Festival at Stratford, Conn, last week opened a production of Troilus and Cressida. But what ho?

Gibbings' new pieces have their models' clean, simple lines and gracefully swooping curves, which can be fitted easily into the modern split-level, while at the same time suggesting the ageless charm of antiquity. In the Gibbings collection is a leather-topped folding stool with four sturdy horse legs, which was copied from a mid-6th century earthen plaque in the West Berlin State Museum. Other straight-legged stools are borrowed from a frieze in the Parthenon. Copied line for line and curve for curve from the stele of Hegesco, built in 400 B.C., is a large chair...
