Maddux was described as a woman of such mesmerizing elegance, everything around her would fall away. "Michelle Pfeiffer has the same kind of fragile beauty," says Holly's sister Mary, 34.

Looking tired and downcast, he fiddled quietly with a silver lighter as his colleagues talked bravely about how "our message is finally getting through." On the same day Delanoë, accompanied by Education Minister Jack Lang and Interior Minister Daniel Vaillant, strolled triumphantly through the poor but bustling 18th arrondissement surrounded by journalists and well-wishers.
