87th Precinct (NBC, 9-10 p.m.). PREMIERE of a new bullet series. Wherever the 87th precinct is, it looks familiar. Tonight the precinct's supersleuth finds a female corpse floating in the river with a mysterious tattoo on her hand...
...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...

Detroit's Walt Dukes (7 ft., 220 lbs.) has the sharpest elbows in the league, beats a painful tattoo on the heads of friend and foe alike. Used intentionally, however, the elbow can be a far more effective weapon than a punch. Says one coach on the ethics of elbowing: "It's perfectly all right for me to belt someone if he flagrantly holds me repeatedly when we're not fighting over the ball...
