Secret Plan. Lately, some Portuguese journalists have grown even feistier. Jorno Novo, a Socialist daily founded just after nationalization by a former advertising man, earlier this month ran an exposé of what it called a secret government plan to impose censorship and fines of up to $20,000 for sins like "neglect of duty to sensitize the population to the great national tasks."

Bergman new asked: Does aesthetic tradition justify a director who uses the screen to produce a dream world and imposes his will on actors and audiences? Or does the director merely create barriers between the audience and screen characters...
