...sort of paradox that could only attract a French novelist who has also worked in French cinema-a man, in fact, like Jorge Semprun, who was born in Madrid but has lived in France since 1939, where he has won literary prizes and has written screenplays for films including Costa-Gavras...
Truffaut's visit is the first in a series of film programs planned by Michaud for the coming year. Artists now scheduled include Jean-Pierre Leaud, star of several of Truffaut's films, who will make several appearances next week, and Costa-Gavras, director of political films such as Z and State of Siege...
Scarcely a week after they overturned the Marxist government of Salvador Allende Gossens and seized power, the generals of Chile were acting rather like the colonels of Greece, or even like the cardboard military figures of a Costa-Gavras movie.

Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, which has six touring bands, had to put up a tent for the overflow crowds, then an auditorium that holds 2,000. The Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation near Saugus has bought a 160-acre farm, a gas station, a thrift shop and a motel. Kent Philpott s ministry north of San Francisco runs a construction business and several farms, plus...
