...woman I have been looking for. I have found her. She writes poetry, she drives a car, she smokes cigars!" The enraptured young man speaking is the son of a rich Italian landowner, played by Robert (Godfather H) De Niro, in Bernardo Bertolucci's film 1900. The object of his love is a free-spirited flapper named Ada, played by a free-spirited actress named Dominique Sanda. Sanda, 23, is irresistible to most of Europe's leading film makers: in 1970 Bertolucci gave her a starring role in The Conformist and later conceived Last Tango in Paris with...
...opposition has not given up. Groups such as the Daughters Already Well-Endowed, Women Who Want to be Women and the League of Housewives, which claims 20,000 members, object that the amendment is in conflict with woman's most important role as housewife and mother.

The John Birch Society has its nationwide staff of 90 men churning out arguments against the amendment. Sample headline...

Biblical controversy also rages outside church doors. In Kanawha County, W. Va., the entire public school system has been disrupted this fall because of parental objections to textbooks. While complaints have been raised about patriotic, sexual and racial contents, the quarrel with the textbooks is very deeply a biblical issue. Fundamentalists all, the parents contend that the schoolbooks breed doubt of the Bible's literal truth. One contested passage compares the scriptural account of Daniel in the lion's den to the old tale of Androcles and the lion. Another suggests that the biblical story of the Tower of Babel...
None of the reactions to the liberals' search for a historical Jesus were more profound or far-reaching than that of a Lutheran theologian and Scripture scholar, Rudolf Bultmann, who at 90 is living in Marburg, West Germany, and still writing in scholarly journals. Bultmann did not object to the liberals' methods or their presuppositions. Like them, he felt that the New Testament's supernatural world view was intolerable to modern man, but he believed that the liberals were on the wrong track in trying to reconstruct the teachings of a historical Jesus. Schooled in the thought of Martin Heidegger...
