...fairness, though, Viva Italia! does have a couple of good scenes among the tasteless dreck that compounds the greater part of this 90-minute exercise in self-discipline (it took a lot of selfdiscipline to remain in my seat). Alberto Sordi comes up with a truly funny bit as the sybaritic driver of a Rolls-Royce, who encounters an accident victim lying in the road. Although this idly rich fellow is on his way to a family dinner, he is willing to take the poor victim to the hospital. Unfortunately, no hospital will take the dude, and while Sordi prattles...
...SALT sessions in Geneva. In Warnke's absence, the U.S. "working level" negotiators are led by Ambassador Earle, 49, a lawyer and former Pentagon official who has been a full-time member of the SALT delegation for five years. His current job, says Earle, "is a little bit like being a trial lawyer, except it means going to trial constantly, a number of times every week.

His policy needed a bit of bolstering, to be sure: at a nonaligned Foreign Ministers summit in Belgrade last week, some delegates attacked Moscow and Havana-rather than Western imperialism-as the current threat to Third World neutrality...
...tour of the U.S. with a small army of technicians and groupies, to showcase a grab bag of gritty songs from a sizzling new album, Some Girls. On most of their dates, the Stones have rolled around ever-devilish Mick Jagger. But in Tucson, Ariz., the group added a bit of Sunbelt beauty to its act. Announced Jagger: "Now we're going to have a hometown girl sing with us and give her a chance." As any frequenter of Ronstadt's Hardware store in Tucson might have known, the guest was Linda Ronstadt herself, resting up at home...
