After staving off deportation since 1953 (the Justice Department could not find a nation that would take him), U.S. Mafia Mogul Carlos Marcello walked into the New Orleans office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, was peremptorily handcuffed and hustled to the airport, was Guatemala-bound before he could phone his wife or pick up a toothbrush. Last week, while the American Civil Liberties Union attacked the "to talitarian tactics" of the Immigration agents, the Internal Revenue Service slapped a $835,000 tax lien on the squat mobster, charged him with leaving the country without a permit...
...Died. Marcello Cardinal Minimi, 78, since 1957 secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation, which supervises Roman Catholic dioceses throughout the world; of kidney complications following surgery for a perforated ulcer; in Rome...
...deserves full credit. Unfortunately, Moviemaker Dassin must also bear most of the blame for the rest, which is mildly but consistently awful. Adapted crudely from La Loi, Roger Vailland's fine Prix Goncourt novel of 1957, Hot Wind is laden with too many big European names (Gina Lollobrigida, Marcello Mastroianni, Pierre Brasseur, Paolo Stoppa, in addition to Montand and Mercouri).

Another (Carlo Pisacane) is an old and toothless messenger boy. The third (Marcello Mastroianni) is a no-talent photographer, the fourth (Tiberio Murgia) a fiery Sicilian who thinks that everybody is trying to seduce his unmarried sister (Claudia Cardinale), the fifth (Vittorio Gassman) a preliminary bum who never hits anything but the canvas. Only the sixth (Toto), a renowned but senile safecracker, has any previous criminal experience, and when he sees the quality...
...Bourbon King Charles III of Naples, who spent months arranging it each year in several rooms of the palace, while his queen and her ladies in waiting sewed silk and velvet costumes for the new figures. One of the most striking of the Neapolitan presepios, owned by Collector Marcello Hallecker of Naples, is shown on TIME'S cover this week. Typical of many a presepio of the period, the scene has been arranged on a replica mountainside 12 ft. across. The manger itself is all but obscured by the teeming, noisy crowd that moils about the inn, oblivious...
