...Pannonian plain near Belgrade, a colony of gypsies dwells in a clot of squalor, surviving on what they earn from buying and selling goose feathers. Outstanding among them is an erotic, intemperate feather merchant named Bora, played by Bekim Fehmiu, a Yugoslav actor strongly reminiscent of Jean-Paul Belmondo. Endlessly indulging in wife-beating and mistress-bedding, Bora downs liters of wine and scatters his seed, his feathers and his future.

Died. Hans-Christoph Seebohm, 64, longtime (1949-66) West German Transport Minister; of a lung clot; in Bonn. As a public servant, Seebohm swiftly rebuilt and expanded Germany's war-ravaged railroads, autobahns, ports and waterways. As a politician, he was signally less successful. His incessant clamor for the return of the Sudeten-land-yielded to Hitler in 1938 and handed back to Czechoslovakia in 1945 -was a constant embarrassment to the Bonn government...
