Slim Chance. By being named Secretary of the Navy, John H. Chafee has escaped temporary political limbo. Last November, he failed to win a fourth term as Governor of overwhelmingly Democratic Rhode Island, after pro posing a state income tax. At that time, his chances of getting a job in the Nixon Administration seemed slim indeed. He had backed George Romney's abortive bid for the presidential nomination. He then switched to Nelson Rockefeller, and finally, at the Miami Beach convention, openly opposed the nomination of Spiro Agnew for Vice President...
Even when the A.P. investigators miss their mark, they still sometimes score. Barnes jetted to Nassau and studied more than 2,500 land records in search of rumored links between island casinos and U.S. legislators. That fizzled, but along the way he dug up an exclusive story on the listing of a Bahamas gambling operation by the New York Stock Exchange...
...year is 1971, and the scene is Bergman's favorite symbol: an island off the coast. There, a violinist named Jan Rosenberg (Max von Sydow) and his wife Eva (Liv Ullman) cower in their farmhouse, waiting out a civil war that rages on the mainland.

Infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering, afflicted with a bad heart and a sick psyche, Jan lives...
Scandinavian tourists troop off the ferry with light portable ladders to prop against the high stone wall. Sheep Island is a long way from Stockholm, the wind is bitter, and the wall is high. But to them the object is worth the search-a glimpse of Bergman and what Swedes euphemize as his latest "little home companion." If they are lucky, they can see a brilliant glint of strawberry blonde hair and the planed face with its saddle of freckles and wistful smile...
Shortly after the filming of Persona, the rumors began. She and Bergman gave out the news that they enjoyed an "extraordinarily fine relationship." Late this year, the Stangs divorced, and Ullman-and her daughter Linn-moved into the $100,000 house Bergman recently built on Sheep Island, scene of The Shame. On occasion, they can also be spied upon in their town house in Stockholm's expensive residential suburb, Deer Garden. Guarding his privacy with zeal, Bergman has only once publicly ventured an opinion about the woman who has played a major role in his last three films...
