...OPENED up the garden of the Finzi-Continis for all to see a welter of anti-Semitism, decadence, human weakness and human love; an Italy where never a crucifix is seen, only a Star of David carved into the stone gate-post of a Jewish graveyard, or a Hebrew inscription above the doorway of an elegant townhouse. De Sica finally limits his characters to a world of their own subjectivity, leaving untapped a world beyond the area of Italy and deeper than the physical eye can see.

Yokoi became an instant hero in Japan, and he will be given a triumphal welcome this week in Tokyo, and later in his hometown of Nagoya, where there is a tombstone bearing his name in a graveyard. The Japanese government offered Yokoi a $320 cash token of sympathy-his accrued back pay amounts to only about $129-and chartered a jet to fly him home.

At first, traffic was so light that some toll collectors on the graveyard shift set garbage-can lids in the approach lanes to warn themselves of oncoming vehicles. But business soon picked up, and now runs to 33 million vehicles a year. The bridge has attracted more than cars. It gained an unfortunate reputation as one of America's most melodramatic suicide sites. Last week a 65-year-old woman became...
