...from Mulattoes. The rival rebel groups, both based across the border in the Congolese capital of Leopoldville, often seem more intent on destroying each other than the Portuguese. The Popular Movement for Liberation of Angola (M.P.L.A.) is led by smooth. Sorbonne-educated Mario Pinto de Andrade, 34, a mulatto whose backing comes mainly from other assimilados, the educated half-castes who have long had full Portuguese citizenship; to widen its appeal, however, an Angolan black, Poet Agostinho Neto, was recently made M.P.L.A.'s nominal leader. Andrade, who, like most of Salazar's foes, is often denounced...
Only Solution. Red jubilance was matched by continued dissension in the Christian Democratic Party. Focus of blame for the party's 4% drop in votes is Premier Amintore Fanfani. Hardfisted Deputy Mario Scelba declared Red success "is the fruit of our mistakes and not of the superiority of Communist ideals." Scelba and others of the center and right strongly oppose a continuance of the apertura a sinistra, the so-called opening to the left, initiated last year by Fanfani when he formed his alliance with Pietro Nenni's Socialists.

...readers who like to hoard their Hollywood gleanings like green stamps, Hedda has a wildly scattershot collection: Clark Gable had not a tooth of his own in his head; Sinatra, Jerry Lewis and Doris Day all shower at least three times a day; Mario Lanza roamed the streets of Beverly Hills at night in his Cadillac to batter down the mailbox of a movie mogul he thought had betrayed him; Harry Cohn broke up the romance of Sammy Davis Jr. and Kim Novak by having a thug threaten to work Sammy over. And if such racy bits never appeared...
...screen, Cantinflas is Latin America's perpetual Poor Soul, who stumbles from woe to woe in a series of pratfalls. As Phileas Fogg's spirited gentleman's gentleman, he blundered merrily Around the World in 80 Days. Mario Moreno, as Cantinflas is known in private life, bears little resemblance to the helpless clown with the split mustache. He is one of the richest men in Mexico, with an income of something like $350,000 a year, lives like a potentate in five homes attended by a staff of 18 servants. He flies...
