Instead, she said, she and Burton had agreed to use the money to build a hospital in Kasane, the northern Botswana village where they were remarried last month. "The people there need a clinic badly, and I certainly don't need another ring," said Taylor. Well, maybe just one more. She did agree to keep the wedding band...
