...best-actress award for her part as a medium in Director Bryan Forbes's Seance on a Wet Afternoon. The best director was Stanley Kubrick of Dr. Strangelove, and the best screenwriter was Harold Pinter, for The Servant.

When will the church of the future be born? "We're in it now," exults Jean-Paul Meyer, director of Paris' International Protestant Students' Center, and he may well be right. Every church today has its share of experiments looking ahead to the 21st century.

But he is a watch-charm saint, a petty demon whose villainy is on so small a scale that its very earnestness is laughable. The crimes that this Narcissus drops...
