I'd chant something like

  find . -name . -o -type d -ls -prune

(Which happens to be compatible with non-GNU finds, which I deal with
sometimes.)  Which is to say: search, starting with the current
directory.  If its name is '.', continue; otherwise, if it's a
directory, print a 'ls -l' line and don't recurse further.
