...Ingmar Bergman looks like a Levine caricature of himself. His face is a series of exaggerated downward thrusts-from the sloping hooded lids of his gray eyes to the long beaked nose and long chin. Although usually smiling and pleasant, he demands exact preparation and painstaking orderliness. He is on a first-name basis with each member of his German crew, and they with him. Hand-picked as the best film technicians in Germany, they both fear and adore the Swedish director...
...tung, murdered her ailing husband last year, offering the latest twist in the continuing campaign against Madame Mao. Three of the Chairman's physicians charged that when the ailing Mao was sleeping in his sickroom, Chiang Ch'ing would yell at him, brandishing documents under his nose. Then she made her first attempt with an improbable blunt instrument. This was a high-wattage lamp that she cunningly placed on Mao's bedside table. Though "in dread of heat," he survived.

Last month the deaf-mute was back in a Cook County courtroom, sitting impassively (occasionally wrinkling his nose at policemen he had seen before) as Circuit Judge Joseph Schneider ruled on his fate. On the basis of medical testimony from doctors and therapists who had observed Lang over a seven-month period, Schneider found that while the accused murderer has "manifested dangerous behavior," he has at least an average intelligence and is not insane. Another promising finding: for the first time since he was arrested in 1965, Lang has seemed ready to learn sign language, quickly picking up 100 basic...
