...been increasingly concerned that the ever growing concentration of state power and the extension of bureaucracy into private life have already begun to curtail individual rights and liberties (TIME, July 19). Frequently cited as an example of the increasing arbitrariness of the bureaucracy was the harassment of Writer-Director Ingmar Bergman by Swedish tax authorities, which drove him abroad into self-imposed exile earlier this year...

His well-publicized humiliation at the hands of the Swedish tax authorities (TIME, Feb. 16) led to two weeks in a sanitarium and, currently, recuperative retreat on Faro, his island home near Stockholm. Professionally, his movies have been enjoying, at least in America, their greatest popularity: Cries and Whispers, Scenes from a Marriage, The Magic Flute have been much honored and widely attended...
