Skepticism about the Carter Administration's charge of deep Communist involvement in the invasion of Zaïre last month was also voiced by members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Chairman John Sparkman said the evidence that Cuba had trained and equipped the Katangese rebels was "circumstantial" and "substantial but by no means conclusive." Senator Jacob Javits was the only committee member who seemed fully satisfied with the Administration's contention last week. Though the evidence produced by U.S. intelligence has not been made public, TIME Correspondent William McWhirter has learned that it includes transcripts...
Bespectacled and bearded, O'Callahan uses no scenery, no costumes, no props. But he gestures his way through each story, giving his voice dramatic colors, using body language to suggest character and attitude. As a blacksmith, his voice is deep and strong. As a little old lady, he totters and quavers through his lines. Most of his tales are studded with songs, and they run to once-upon-a-time plot lines as simple-and profound-as fairy tales.

...Notre Dame de la Garde, "the Old Gold Lady up on the hill." Fisher is at her wisest and most amusing as an observer of the Marseillais, those dark, stocky descendants of every Mediterranean race. Their women are among the most fascinating in the world, with their harsh, deep voices, tough yet utterly feminine manners and smooth, ageless skins. Their abiding strength and sensuality, Fisher speculates, may be the result of a lifelong diet of Provençal tomatoes and olive...
