...leaders: Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika, 41, an agile, Westernized diplomat; Colonel Ahmed Bencherif, 51, former commandant of the national gendarmerie and now Water Resources Minister, and Colonel Mohammed Salah Yahiaoui, 46, a devout Muslim and pro-Soviet politician who is currently running the F.L.N. Outside the council, the name most often mentioned is that of Colonel Benjedid Chadli, 52, military commander of the Oran region, who took over as "coordinator" of the armed forces during Boumedienne's long illness.

One suspects Pierson was undercut by his producers, who perhaps imposed safe, name character actors on him, asking him to force up the predictable parts in his script and play down what might be more surprising. The conclusion is that you could do worse than to see Gypsies, but that the film makers could quite easily have done much better...
...surprise move, the Sacred College of Cardinals concludes the lengthiest conclave of this century by naming Rev. Peter J. Gomes, minister in Memorial Church, as the 265th pontiff. Gomes, the first black, non-Catholic Pope in recent memory, moves to demonstrate his fidelity to the developments in the Church in the past 105 years, and choose the name Leo Pius Benedict Pius Pius John Paul John Paul John Paul I, after his nine immediate predecessors...
