CONVERSATIONS WITH BERENSON, recalled by Count Umberto Morra, translated by Florence Hammond. The century's most celebrated connoisseur of Italian painting was also a dazzling conversationalist whose aphorisms and tidbits of gossip fortunately were recorded for posterity by Count Morra...
Machine candidates cannot count on beating either Democratic dissenters or Republican opponents without taking novel, perhaps even liberal stands on issues. That means that Harry Byrd, Jr., appointed to the Senate by outgoing Governor Harrison (who announced Byrd's resignation with tears in his eyes), will probably face a tough fight to retain his father's seat.

Truffaut has always relied on acting to power his films, but never has he created such intensely cinematic acting, relying on touches far too fine to be visible on the stage...
