...cast by the monks of Byzantium," Homolka's sons Richard Widmark and Russ Tamblyn steal the Norse King's funeral ship as well as his shapely daughter (Yugoslavia's Beba Loncar), and head south. All that stands in their way is a mutinous crew, a maelstrom and Sidney Pokier, a Moorish prince. He, too, dreams of the golden "Mother of Voices," but hears only the wail of his neglected Queen Rosanna Schiaffino. Pokier captures the vikings in a highly photogenic battle beside their shipwrecked hull...

Inevitably, Mendoza has been drawn into the maelstrom of Venezuelan politics. Last December he helped found the Venezuelan Association of Independents (A.V.I.), a group of blue-chip businessmen and professionals, which intends to fight alongside the usual political organizations on behalf of sound fiscal policies and stepped-up development. The Association took planks of fiscal orthodoxy-a balanced budget, a free-as-possible economy, safeguards for private capital-and nailed them together into a platform designed to ease the basic plight of Venezuela : that "more than half of the population do not manage to satisfy the minimum needs...
