...German tourist who has come over just for the day on the ferry from Naples (fare: 70?) wearing only shorts and sandals, carrying only a camera and a lunch box. And to meet the taste of the new invaders, the Capresi have converted the once-charming fishing village of Marina Grande into a boardwalk displaying cheap religious bibelots and tinny music boxes that wheeze out the saccharine strains of The Isle...
...From Marina Grande most visitors take a shiny new aluminum funicular (fare: 28?) up to the tiny Piazza Umberto, Capri's main square. There the day excursionist mounts the steps behind the piazza-to save money, he does not take a cafe table-and watches the crowd swirling beneath: men with pink shoes and dyed blond hair, women in sequined toreador slacks or skintight shorts...

(Along his route, the night before, policemen had painted out life-size posters of Paris-born Cinema Star Marina Vlady in a skintight bathing suit.) In a hall adjoining St. Paul's, before 20 surprised cardinals assembled to celebrate the 1,900th anniversary of the Epistle to the Romans, the Pope announced what may well be the most important 20th century landmark in the history of the Roman Catholic Church; the 21st Ecumenical Council, which will...
