...rest of the world-burned with prurient curiosity. Last week, while unconcernedly directing her lawyer to terminate the services of hangdog Fourth Husband Eddie Fisher, Elizabeth Taylor, 30, tirelessly sought to turn a more prideful head. Liz's latest quarry, the Mark Antony to her Cleopatra. Richard Burton, seemed cheerfully prepared to indulge her exhibitionistic binges of togetherness on the Via Veneto and to relish his odd-hour neighborly access to her villa. But he was careful to keep the home fires burning with a weekend rendezvous in Paris with Wife Sybil. As the tasteless, tedious charade wore...
Emerging from a three-day "rest and a general checkup" in a private psychiatric hospital in Manhattan, Vagabond Crooner Eddie Fisher protested at a high-pitched press conference that the only romance between Wife Elizabeth Taylor and her Cleopatra costar, Richard Burton, was onscreen. Laughing off rumors of breakup and breakdown as "preposterous, ridiculous and absolutely false," Fisher predicted a similar public disclaimer from Liz, but after a 15-minute transatlantic call, returned to the conference with a stricken look.

Mankiewicz, 53, who, however, is very busy shooting all day and scripting all night...
...Actor Hans Conried showed up on the sidewalk outside the theater with a stepladder, climbed to the marquee with a tape measure, and determined precisely the altitude of the letters that spelled his name. When 20th Century-Fox's Cleopatra (now in production) is finally released, Richard Burton will be listed above Rex Harrison. If, however, Harrison should be knighted before then, his name will go above Burton's-but only in Great Britain. Elizabeth Taylor, needless to say, will top them both. But in the past she has made concessions for private reasons. In Butterfield...
