...students at Mexico City's National University cared for Dean Cesar Sepulveda's ideas. Not only did he demand regular class attendance but he also required students to take examinations. And he even had the temerity two months ago to suspend two students who made failing grades. Basta! The 7,000 law students went on strike. Last week the strike exploded into a full-scale riot...
...money on the world's racing circuits this year, there is one 3000 coupe that is worth its weight in lira back home. For years Rome's Questura security cops found themselves choking on crooks' exhaust fumes in their put-putting Fiats. But now, basta, banditti!

But with some $20 million already sunk in the seemingly bottomless Cleopatra, 20th Century-Fox had scant choice...
...this, I'm that. Basta. I feel married, and lots of married people don't feel married." Ponti is a major figure in the Italian cinema in his own right. He has produced hundreds of films, including Gold of Naples, La Strada and War and Peace. It is sometimes barbarously pointed out that he is twice as old as she is and half as tall...
