...just to remove some rust and graffiti? No restoration campaign is ever that simple. It will cost $12,000 to clean-the Saint-Gaudens bronze and to provide a new sword, plus a few extra swords in anticipation of future vandalism. About $21,000 is needed to repair the chipped and cracked masonry. It will take $22,000 more to engrave the names of the black soldiers who died-only the white officers are now named. There are various other items, including $15,000 to restore the memorial's fountain and $50,000 for a permanent endowment...

In 1973 Coppola produced a low-budget feature by George Lucas, and the film, American Graffiti, became a surprise hit. With Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, the protege has finessed his mentor at the box office. Says one screenwriter: "Francis has spent long hours bemoaning the twist of fate that brought George all that money." Lucas has invested much of his movie winnings...
