The result has been to make Van Gogh one of the most misinterpreted artists in history. In an ambitious Hollywood effort to right the record and explain the inner workings of an artist, M-G-M this week released its version of Van Gogh's life, Lust for Life, based on Irving Stone's high-colored 1934 bestseller...

After her father was machine-gunned to death, she began helping the underground, finally made her successful pleas for release from her vows on the grounds that "obedience without question, obedience without inner murmuring, obedience blind, instantaneous, perfect in its acceptance as Christ practiced it . . . I can no longer...
