Cleopatra. Every dollar of the $40 million spent on this epic-to-end-all-epics is dazzlingly apparent in the tons of gold leaf, typhoons of pink smoke, and wilderness of bosoms that assault the beholder. But the world's most expensive star. Elizabeth Taylor, plays Cleo as if she were doing a fancy-dress dream sequence from Butterfield 8. Richard Burton is all too realistic as Antony-the man who sold himself down the Nile for a sex symbol...

Together they founded the Newport Jazz Festival, but togetherness and all that jazz have gone up in smoke for Elaine Lorillard, divorced first wife of Tobacco Heir Louis Lorillard. In Middletown, R.I., Elaine and her two teen-aged children by Louis were evicted from their rented Paradise Farm home. Louis had let the lease lapse.

Through the capsule's windows, they will see the flash and smoke of blastoff, then the approaching clouds, the indigo sky, and finally the star-speckled blackness of outer space. Later, as they view the looming surface of the moon, they will begin another countdown to launch a smaller detachable capsule for a lunar landing. Before the astronauts see earth again, their skill and nerves will be severely...
