...ALPHABET TREE, by Leo Lionni (Pantheon; $3.95), is tops on the list of picture books that teach as well as amuse. The letters, coached by a word bug and a purple caterpillar, cling to the tree and to one another to say "something important-peace...
...Vatican itself, with its time-encrusted rituals and ancient, artistic treasures all faithfully reproduced in Panavision. But it has a respectable supporting cast. Quinn is an effective rough-and-humble Zorba the Pope. For a change, his fellow actors-notably Vittorio De Sica as a volatile Italian cardinal and Leo McKern as a jealous one-do not look embarrassed by their clerical robes. As Father Telemond, Werner appears uncommonly youthful for his 46 years; he seems fresher in each new movie, as if, like Merlin in The Once and Future King, he were living his life backwards. His role, unfortunately...
During the fifth and sixth centuries, the spiritual prestige of Rome's bishop became complicated by the fact that he was a secular power as well. At the time of the barbarian invasions, the Popes emerged as Rome's most prestigious leaders.

Apparently, all three have been dismissed from favor as unsympathetic. Today, the Pope's most trusted adviser is Bishop Carlo Colombo, 59, who is a knowledgeable master of standard textbook theology. Another confidant is Dominican...
...Things are still well made," insists Keith Sonnier, "but the artists are sneakier about it." Sometimes indeed they are so sneaky that their craftsmanship eludes the viewer altogether. Bruce Nauman, 26, at Manhattan's Leo Castelli Gallery last February, showed off crude fiber glass forms, limp latex-and-cloth sculptures, and a stuttering neon sign that proclaimed "The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths." Minimalist Morris blossomed forth at a Castelli spring show with billowing grey strips of industrial felt...
