...kind of skin-flick that rarely makes it off the grind-house circuit. But this film is being released in the U.S. by Joseph E. Levine, a canny showman with a shrewd instinct for profitable exploitation. Five years ago, the only chained-up people in Levine movies were Mediterranean musclemen and Nubian slaves. From this standpoint at least, La Prisonnière marks a certain kind of progress...
...novitiate, he did not take his final vows. Thus his fictional priests are drawn from knowledge, not research. His protagonist, James Maitland, with a fresh doctorate from Louvain, is a 29-year-old priest teaching history in a Catholic House of Studies. Set off as it is against the Mediterranean glitter of Sydney's splendid harbor and the sunburned hedonists who inhabit it, this comfortless, twilit gothic barracks with an "eczema of stained glass," emphasizes one of the book's controlling ironies. For Maitland fits neither world, though he can swim like a fish in the troubled waters...
...contrast to what happened on the occasion of previous attacks on El Al-a skyjacking over the Mediterranean last July and an automatic-rifle assault in Athens in December-the international community this time was prompt in its protest. United Nations Secretary General U Thant described the attack as "criminal and dastardly." Britain, France, the Vatican and the U.S. issued condemnations. Washington also promised to raise the subject of protection of commercial aircraft at a council meeting this week of the International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal...

Two of them, tankers that the family had built in 1957, are out on charter. The other five, which serve lucrative cargo routes to the Mediterranean, belong to the Prudential Lines, which the Skourases have owned since 1960. Soon Spyros S. will move the family into the ranks of important shippers. With backing from two New York banks, Marine Midland and Chase Manhattan, he has agreed to buy the 24-ship Grace Line fleet from W.R. Grace...
...Alsaciens. Charles de Gaulle hopes to change the situation. Decentralization of power has become his single most urgent domestic program, and with good reason. At least 85% of French industry is concentrated in the area east of a line drawn from Caen in the northwest to Marseille on the Mediterranean. So is the bulk of the population. Because jobs are far more plentiful in Paris than in the provinces, hundreds of thousands of auvergnats, alsaciens, Savoyards and bretons have flocked to the capital. Its traffic density is even more paralyzing than Manhattan's: the broad boulevards and narrow streets...
