...Colossal Crystal. Last week, in connection with the 700th anniversary of Dante's birth, the world was taking a fresh look at the man and the artist, and making a sharp reappraisal of his nature and his relevance. From Berlin to Buenos Aires, eminent dantisti were promulgating treatises and tributes. In Rome, Pope Paul was preparing an encyclical in Dante's honor. And in the U.S., Yale's Thomas G. Bergin produced the best general introduction to Dante ever written in English (Dante; Orion Press...
...began to feel like a stunt man, and even worse, to doubt his own artistic integrity. In 1953, aged 48, he stopped performing.

But no other food is ever served and no money changes hands; members sign their bills at the end of the evening. On Saturday nights, the Sunday papers...
...PASO councilmen, Manuel Maldonado, because he owed $2.98 in back city taxes. A court ruled he could not be fired. Three other councilmen resigned. By the time election rolled around last week Cornejo and Maldonado were the only two PASOs left-and they were hardly in public favor. Crystal Citizens therefore elected a five-man slate put up by the Anglo-organized Citizens' Association Serving All Americans (CASA...
