...PASSIONATE PRODIGALITY, by Guy Chapman. This reissue of an authentic classic of World War I is more than an unforgettable memoir of life and death in the trenches; it stands as an elegy for an entire generation...
...shepherded four books into print, including a popular interpretation of the New Testament (The Power and the Wisdom) that is already in its fourth printing and a 900,000-word Dictionary of the Bible, six years in the writing, that both Protestant and Catholic scholars are acclaiming as a classic. Last month Sheed & Ward published his Authority in the Church, a series of reflections on the spiritual understanding of power and rulership. In addition, McKenzie is translating Second Isaiah for Doubleday's Anchor Bible (TIME, Oct. 23, 1964), and he recently signed a contract to write a history...
...Director Georges Franju tenderly resurrects Judex, a formidable mass hero whose dime-novel adventures burgeoned on the silent screens of France between 1916 and 1918, decades before Superman got off the ground as a force for good.

Agnelli became a vice president of Fiat in 1945 and then a managing director in 1963, all the while swinging socially with an easy smile and a classic Roman profile. The skiing and boating pal of everyone from the Aga Khan to Jacqueline Kennedy, he is married to willowy Princess Marella Caracciolo. Italian Communists claim that he is the richest man in Europe, which Agnelli says is "complete nonsense." But he does admit: "I'm the man who pays...
