Estimates of Brundage's collection start at $30 million. Says the crusty old gent who once bounced Eleanor Holm from the Olympic swimming team for sipping champagne: "You can be sure it is worth more than I paid for it." Brundage, who has been collecting since 1912, has acquired more than 5,000 objects, whose origins range from Japan to Iran. As he opened the 12-ft-high bronze doors that lead to the Museum's 100,000-sq.-ft. new wing, he sported in his lapel the grey rosette on gold representing Japan's Order...
Nikolais, a mild-mannered ex-pianist, studied dance with Martha Graham and Hanya Holm before forming his own company in 1956. Now 54, he no longer dances, but concentrates on developing a theater of the "total happening," in which "man is taken out of this world and put into the universe."

Even his marriages and divorces were spectacular productions.

Like similar laws in a dozen other states, Wyoming's is based on a federally sponsored model code. To keep things informal, the code ironically says that a commitment hearing "shall not be bound by the rules of evidence"-the rules that bar hearsay or irrelevant testimony in any ordinary law court...
...Liberty. After a jury ordered Holm back into the hospital last year, his young court-appointed Sheridan lawyer, James E. Birchby, appealed to the Wyoming Supreme Court on the grounds that the jury had been given hearsay evidence about Holm's mental condition. The law permitting this, he argued, denied the due process guaranteed by the 14th Amendment as well as the Wyoming constitution. Last month the court agreed and set Holm free. "It still remains the fundamental law of the land," said the court, "that a person cannot be deprived of his liberty-whether by involuntary hospitalization...
