...penultimate performance, an outfit called Le Groupe Panique smashed a huge plaster reproduction of Rodin's Thinker into smithereens, spilling torrents of black ink out of plastic bags. Then, while a girl twisted the arms, legs and heads from plastic dolls, another girl stood by beatifically as a grave-faced artist shaved her groin. Later, Beat Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti intoned his latest work while a naked couple made love vertically in a burlap bag, black light playing on their shoulders. "I should stop it," moaned Director Davis, "but if I do, there will be 28 times the scandal there...

Now all of these pale beside a grave new political concern. Colombia's National Front, formed in 1958 to make peace between the warring Liberal and Conservative parties, is in danger of imminent collapse...

Revival-style preaching, for example, rings hollow in the ears of educated laymen. A number of ministers who admire Billy Graham as a person have grave reservations about his "decisions for Christ" approach-the "ability in 45 minutes to bring out a latent crisis in your life, usually guilt over one sin or another," as the Rev.
