...still Liz and Richard Burton, costumed respectively as a molting ostrich and a grandfatherly hippie. So magnetic were the Burtons that the wife of Prime Minister Georges Pompidou surrendered her seat next to them for a few minutes so that Actress Jeanne Moreau could bask there in the reflected glow. Later, with Liz as cheerleader, Burton got up onstage and rumbled two songs from Camelot-winning less applause than a pop singer named Johnny Holliday, the current hero of tout Paris...

He came across a piece of the original carpet, had it copied to the last detail. Rummaging through the basement, he found crates containing six stained-glass windows thought to have been designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who had worked on the Auditorium as an 18-year-old apprentice...
