...next 2½ years she and Patrick gadded about Europe, and all the attention was almost, almost unbearable; in Italy, Raquel even took to toting a squirt gun to cool down ardent paparazzi who dared stick their heads in her Cadillac limousine. Nothing could deter the photographers, however. By February 1967, she and Pat decided it was time to seal the Curtwel merger. In Paris, bedecked in a crocheted minidress, Raquel took her marriage vows for the second time...
...house lights go out, a howling mob in the rear charges through the audience. Fans scream. Unshakeable photographers, like the Italian paparazzi, click their cameras. The reason? Berowne (in a mod green and lavender outfit), Longaville (Ted Graber), and Dumaine (Anthony Mainionis) have arrived, with Air India tote-bags slung over their shoulder, intent on making a retreat--just like a trio of Beatles. The King (Charles Siebert), bearded, barefoot, and white-gowned, is their chosen guru, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, speaking in a foreign accent.

In one typical operation they took a picture of a Parisian professor chatting with one of his students in a Left Bank bistro, then used it to illustrate an article attacking "old pigs...
...foot walls of her pink and white fortress near Saint-Tropez with Playboy Bob Zaguri, Photographer Jicky Dussart, two bodyguards and three German police dogs. Spending a holiday B.B.-style, Bob and Jicky amused themselves by heaving buckets of water over the wall at the swarms of peepers and paparazzi, while the bodyguards handled the beach detail and the dogs swam out to bite the swimmers treading water offshore. About the only bardolators getting any compassion were the prurient yachtsmen, who pulled abreast of Bardot's bastion and got so engrossed in the view from the bridge that they...
