...demanded an invitation by telex -and got the White House O.K. within an hour. Italy's Premier Emilio Colombo also got Nixon's nod. Portugal's Premier Marcello Caetano made the list only because the Azores is Portuguese territory. When Brazil's President Emilio Garrastazu Medici arrived in Washington last week, he found his long-scheduled courtesy call upgraded to two hour-long sessions with the President. After the White House finally closed the appointment calendar, there were cries of protest from some unsuccessful summit seekers, notably Mexico and South Korea...
Michael Butler, that "Medici of the counter-culture" who hully-gullied all the way to the Chase Manhattan after his production of Hair, may have taken on some real risks in deciding to produce The Trial of the Catonsville Nine in Cambridge. Berrigan's play has a certain amount of purely dramatic force, especially in proud statements of faith like defendant David Darst's: "People are sacred, an end in themselves.

Running 200 miles south of the Amazon River, and almost parallel to it, the Transamazonian Highway project is already being billed by President Emilio G.

Probably the best exponent of Italy's low-profile brand of Communism is Bologna's Mayor Renato Zangheri, a party "liberal," economist and intellectual who is regarded as something of a Marxist Medici even by nonCommunists. Since July, when he became the latest Red mayor of Bologna, Zangheri has insisted on keeping his University of Bologna professorship, on wearing his academic tweeds, and on making over much of the municipal government in his eclectic but thoughtful style. Among the 17th century frescoes in the Palazzo D'Accursio, he has hung a favorite Jackson...
