...China. Eighteen months ago, a 100-yd. wall poster in Canton attacked the abuses of a system run by powerful party cadres. While it reaffirmed the validity of Marxism-Leninism for China, the wall poster also pilloried "a force of civil officials who share vested interests" and the "fascist autocracy" that had sprung from the cadres' privileges...
...feminists were protesting a law (TIME, Jan. 5) dating back to Fascist days that makes abortion a criminal act, even though an estimated 1 million Italian women now undergo such operations annually. Pressed not only by feminists but by Communists and socialists as well, moderates within the Christian Democratic Party sought to "de-penalize" the law.

But Bunuel had the last laugh: although the government censors didn't realize it when they saw the film, Viridiana is a sardonic and ruthless attack on the role of the church, sexual morality, property...
...Pennsylvania Station at 8 a.m., accosting commuters single-mindedly on their way to work. He had courted Jewish voters, though he knew their hearts were with Scoop Jackson; he had been cheered by students, who he knew were his own. Twice he had been attacked by radicals shouting "Fascist!" His motorcade had suffered the ignominy of a flat tire on the Grand Central Parkway. In the afternoon, he flew to Buffalo...
