Panama last week found itself in the embarrassing position of having two Presidents. One was Marco Aurelio Robles, 62, the country's duly elected chief of state for the past four years; the other was Max Delvalle, 57, Robles' First Vice President. This tricky sit uation was brought about by the opposition-dominated National Assembly, which, seizing on an obscure clause in the country's constitution, accused Ro bles of giving illegal support to a can didate in the upcoming May 12 elec tions. Early in the week, the Assembly voted to oust Robles from office...
...President of Panama was impeached last week. The charge: that he violated a constitutional provision that prohibits the President from giving "direct or indirect official aid to a candidate." President Marco Aurelio Robles, 62, who cannot succeed himself by law and thus is not running in the May 12 presidential elections, was charged with aiding Finance Minister David Samudio, 57.

...Beany (Marco St. John), a free spirit who sponges on Daddy for the cost of living. Beany is a dove on Viet Nam, and he has brought home a Negro sweetie (Carol Cole) to wed.

The 28-year-old son of a lawyer from Piacenza, Bellocchio won the Silver Ribbon, Italy's Oscar, with his very first effort, Fists in the Pocket (1965). His China Is Near (1966) won the special jury award at last summer's Ven ice Film Festival. Both films are now being released...
...Prime Minister must be a lot fitter than we are," Stewart quipped to the others. "There he goes, striding along like Marco Polo." Holt strolled down the beach and dived into the chill waters. "If Mr. Holt can take it," Stewart said, "I'd better go in too." He went for a dip but, discouraged by the condition of the water, quickly returned to the others. By now, the tide had turned and was rushing out. As he swam, his head bobbing above the waves, Holt was carried farther and farther out into a broad stretch of swirling water...
