Eighteen lace-covered pillows on the First Lady's richly canopied bed. Heroic ten-foot paintings of Marcos as a medal-bedecked leader and Imelda as a latter-day saint.

Reunions in the latter two last week brought out more than 300 present and former bunnies for a final hop down memory lane. "There was glamour, there was excitement.
