...most original dress designer. Then he went on to Palm Beach, where Martha's, an exclusive salon with shops in Florida and New York, bestowed a similar award.

Then an epidemic of "bronze disease" corrosion broke out twice among the priceless Buddhas. And what's worse, the roof leaked. All that was a bit much for Millionaire Builder Avery Brundage, 79, president of the international Olympic committee and one of the world's foremost collectors of Oriental art, who donated his $30 million hoard of treasures to the city of San Francisco for display...
