...anonymous editors by the same chain of communication. Though anyone who copies or circulates the Chronicle faces severe penalties, ten issues of the Chronicle have appeared since it was launched in 1968. The front page of a recent issue carries a quotation from the U.N. Bill of Human Rights and a list of the cases reported in the issue...

But where he should use a No. 3 paintbrush, Buñuel too often employs a palette knife. What is intended as subtle Human Comedy becomes broadly laughable, as when Jesus and his disciples run through the woods in chromo-colored sequences, or when Mary miraculously appears after a hunter has shot a rosary from a tree branch, or when an unintentionally effeminate devil (Pierre Clementi) pops up in the back of a wrecked automobile...
