But, like a mirage in the desert, Harvard--and the image it projects--becomes less...

But when she detoured to her Broadway triumph in The Little Foxes, it was reported that those violet eyes began to wander. At one point, she was linked to Foxes Producer Zev Bufman, 51. Bufman, married to his wife Vilma for 23 years, laughed at the reports. Unlike some of Taylor's splits, this one, says her spokeswoman, Chen Sam, seems free of friction: "Each party accepts this change in their relationship with sadness...
