...arranged: five top French couturiers, including Pierre Cardin and Hubert de Givenchy, would reach across the Atlantic to Halston, Anne Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Stephen Burrows and Bill Blass. Together they would have a ball scarving, belting, bigskirting or otherwise adorning the likes of Liza Minnelli, Josephine Baker and Capucine. The performers, together with ordinary mannequins, would stage a kind of high-budget vaudeville called "Le Grand Divertissement à Versailles." The money?

Early in the week, motorcycle-borne photographers had tracked the negotiators' limousines in a wild cross-country pursuit to their secret meeting place in the Paris exurb of Gif-sur-Yvette: a two-story, tile-roofed villa. A gallery of photographers...
...been searching for a villa in Europe, McGovern remarked: "That's where the oil-depletion money goes." He even assailed Connally's $300 suits-an ambiguous campaign issue. While it is true that McGovern pays less than $200 for his suits, his running mate wears Pierre Cardin suits and has been on the best-dressed list...
