Doing Fine: Premature twins born in Aberdeen, S.D., to the first American woman to bear her own grandchildren as a surrogate for her daughter were doing well Sunday, said a hospital spokeswoman. Chad Daniel and Chelsea Arlette Uchytil were delivered Saturday by Arlette Schweitzer, 42. Her daughter, 22-year-old Christa Uchytil, was born without a uterus. Eggs had been taken from Uchytil’s ovaries, fertilized with her husband’s sperm and implanted in Schweitzer’s womb.

Tampering?: A judge ordered an investigation into the murder conviction of former Playboy Club waitress Lawrencia (Bambi) Bembenek, who escaped from prison last year and is in custody in Canada. A Milwaukee judge said authorities should find out whether somebody tampered with evidence. Bembenek, 33, was found guilty in 1982 of the death of her then-husband’s former wife. T-shirts with the slogan “Run, Bambi, Run!” sold wildly in Wisconsin after Bembenek escaped.

Outing Undies: They stripped to their long johns and hung out their bloomers over the weekend. How else would you celebrate the underwear festival in Piqua, Ohio? The brief glory comes once a year as the city hypes its heritage as a leading producer of underwear in the early 1900s. There once were eight knitting mills; only one remains. The fun included a 3-mile-long clothesline hung with skivvies and bloomers and an auction of boxer shorts autographed by Lloyd Bridges, George Burns, Phyllis Diller, Dick Van Dyke and Whoopi Goldberg.

Degrees of Comedy: Would you attend a school called Ed Koch Community College? The NBC sitcom “Night Court” will have the show’s Judge Harry Stone taking a second job this season--teaching law at the “college,” reports TV Guide. The school is hardly Ivy League--it’s a 16th-floor walk-up, and its mascot is a pigeon that got stuck in the air-conditioning vent.
