"The sturdy Danes
who build the WITTUS stoves
make seeing the fire
key to the design."
"The
Wittus stove flourishes today
on the
urban as well as western frontier -
in SoHo lofts and Chicago industrial conversions, Fire Island cottages
and Aspen condos."
"Kathleen Turner has one.
If the star of Body Heat doesn't know something about the caloric
value
of passion, then who does?
What I wonder is, does she sit, on a fall evening, watching an apple pie
brown
and bubble in the top compartment of
her stove, above the blaze?"
