...stayed at or near historic highs, the number of homeless appears to be at its highest in at least a decade in a wide range of places across the U.S., according to Bush's own homelessness czar. "It's embarrassing to say that they're up," says czar Philip Mangano of the number, "but it's better to face the truth than to try to obfuscate...
Bush reinstated last spring the office of homeless czar, a position that had been dormant for six years, tapping Mangano to be head of the Interagency Council on Homelessness. He is liked by members of both parties and fits Bush's theme of faith-based compassion. A former rock manager who represented members of Buffalo Springfield and Peter, Paul and Mary, Mangano says his life changed in 1972 when he saw Franco Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon, a movie about the life of St. Francis.

The pageant winner was the luminous 16-year-old Lucia Bos?, who would star in Antonioni's first two features, "Cronaca di un amore" and "The Lady Without Camelias." Second place went to Gianna Maria Canale, who was "Theodora Slave Empress" before co-starring in "Hercules." And in third place: Gina Lollobrigida, one of an imposing group of Italian actresses...
...statues Sophiaesque. She was married to producer Carlo Ponti, but she didn't need a patron to get good roles. She was "The Miller's Beautiful Wife," a Mario Camerini comedy co-starring de Sica and a calflike Mastroianni. She appeared in de Sica's "Gold of Naples" with Mangano and the clown Toto...
