Liz, who filed for divorce here January 14th, faces the likelyhood of a longish wait for her marriage to British actor Richard Burton, even if husband Eddie Fisher cooperates fully. Burton is set to leave here by January 28 for Canada and rehearsals for a projected Broadway production of 'Hamlet'. Observers say processing here could last beyond then."
