Sunshine & Smiles. What Makarios was really trying to feed the Turkish Cypriots last week was a carrot, in hopeful contrast to the stick he had been applying to them for weeks. His bullying efforts to force the Turkish minority to lay down its arms and accept Greek Cypriot rule had failed, even boomeranged against him in the form of Turkey's threat to invade. Now, suddenly, the wily prelate was all sunshine and smiles. He got along famously with the new U.N. mediator, Ecuador's ex-President Galo Plaza, replacing the late Sakari Tuomioja of Finland, who died...
...indeed wonderful, but at week's end it had not much reduced suspicion and racial hatred on Cyprus. Now food was pouring in from the Red Crescent and the U.N., and there was enough to eat even at Kokkina. But the nine tons of food sent by Makarios lay untouched beside the road, slowly spoiling in the hot sun.

...film that established her and has almost forced the shape of her career was Tennessee Williams' Baby Doll, in which she lay in a crib sucking her thumb, a physically developed, mentally retarded 19-year-old symbol of unprotected sex. Its seduction scene-in a garden swing-is still discussed by old men on winter evenings. "It's amazing that Baby Doll is the one movie I've done that no one has forgotten." she says now. "I tried to get away into different parts, but I find that audiences want me as an image only...
