Juliette Greco commit suicide? It seemed incredible to Parisians, as rumors spread that existentialism's chanteuse-muse had tried to exist no more by swallowing a "massive overdose" of barbiturates. By the time Juliette got back to her Left Bank town house from the Ambroise-Paré Clinic, reporters and photographers were jamming the street outside. "I am against suicide," she snapped, "and against pharmacists." Juliette's explanation: she'd just toppled over after taking two sleeping pills and a tranquilizer to try to relax...
Moron Smart. The new season had been billed as the big Bond payoff, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. seemed to have found the right spoofing approach; even with reruns, U.N.C.L.E. managed during the summer to stay up in the top ten.

...some Dutch parishes, a general confession is included in the Mass, although penitents are also expected to confess their sins privately to the priest in order to receive absolution. In Germany, some theologians feel that frequent confession is no longer necessary, on the theory that most Catholics hardly ever commit a sin serious enough to justify it. Catholics, they say, should be free to rely on their own consciences and receive Com munion without first making a confession. Normally, Catholic children today make their first confession and receive their first Communion at the age of seven or eight; in some...
