...illustrated. It shouldn't be necessary to ask 'why do people read them?' any more than it's necessary to ask Kurt Vonnegut, 'why do people read your stories?' or to say to Truffaut, 'why do people see your movies?' Because comics are an art form. If Shakespeare and Michelangelo were alive today and they said, 'Hey let's collaborate on a comic strip' and Shakespeare wrote it and Michelangelo drew it, would you say to anybody, 'Hey, how come you're reading this?" The measures of comics' worth is just how well they're done, just as the measure...
...traditional Japanese taste. The aesthetic slippage of the Meiji period could not be more vividly illustrated than by the objects chosen for this show. To take an English simile, if Queen Elizabeth II authorized an exhibition from the royal collections, half made up of Renaissance drawings by Leonardo, Michelangelo and others, the rest of cairngorms, antlers and Landseer spaniels from Balmoral, the effect would be roughly the same.

Hoffman, however, declined to reveal any plans to work with one of the three directors. When a reporter asked what...
Twenty minutes of Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (TIME, April 14) were deleted before its American release. Currently, a new work by Marcel Ophuls is being re-edited and thoroughly reworked. The Memory of Justice, a meticulous and moving examination of the Nuremberg war trials, was made with the same stringent conscience and intellect that characterized The Sorrow and the Pity, Ophuls' monumental study of France during the Resistance. The Memory of Justice is an equally important film. Now it is being hacked by its producers into a routine documentary...
