...Rotterdam suburbs, plus another in The Hague, which is part of his diocese. Although the developer who bought Rotterdam's Catholic cathedral has received a few letters warning that he will "be fried in hell," Rotterdammers have generally taken the razing in stride. "The bishop," says one Catholic merchant, "is a first-class businessman." A second Dutch prelate, Bishop Hubertus Ernst of Breda, is now planning to demolish his 19th century cathedral for similar reasons...
...face and a psyche to match. March (Anne Heywood) is cool, competent and controlled-the one who makes the decisions and mends the fences and blasts away with a shotgun at the red fox who regularly raids the chicken yard. Into this twitchy domesticity comes Paul (Keir Dullea), a merchant seaman on leave who has arrived to visit his grandfather, the deceased owner of the farm. A take-over type, he quickly gets himself invited to stay, while Jill giggles flirtatiously and March watches, wary and aloof. But it is March he wants-to her grateful astonishment and Jill...
...film is the rare combination of fresh young talents that Italian-born Producer Joseph Janni (Darling; Far from the Madding Crowd) has recruited from British television. Terence Stamp, 28, is the only member of the company with any movie experience to speak of. John Bindon, 24, is an ex-merchant seaman who has never even acted before.

He looked, as the presiding judge himself remarked, exactly like a smalltown butter-and-cheese merchant. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing, small-time about Pierre Aunay. Standing trial on eight separate charges-ranging from jail breaking to cashing phony money orders-Aunay pleaded innocent on all counts. He was, he explained to the court, far too big a crook to have committed such insignificant crimes and far too slick a crook to be caught for the crimes...
...efforts to doctor the ailing U.S. merchant marine, the Government has often proved as ineffectual as the barnacle-crusted maritime industry itself. Transportation Secretary Alan Boyd not long ago virtually threw up his hands over the prospect of winning general agreement on a plan to renovate the aging U.S. flag fleet, whose dwindling capacity has been strained by the pressure of supplying the Viet Nam war. After months of contentious hearings, the Federal Maritime Commission, however, has just approved a stride toward greater efficiency. By a 3-to-2 vote, the commission authorized the merger of three West Coast companies...
