JULIET OF THE SPIRITS. Director Federico Fellini (8½) stages a psychic three-ring circus in the mind of a troubled matron, played by Giulietta Masina...

Even if he had been, Johnson's portentous flight to Honolulu would have stolen the spotlight. Naturally, that was not the chief object of the President's meeting with Saigon's leaders. "For some time I have been wanting to see them," said Johnson. "This seems to be a good time to do it."
