...understand. Of what good is it to talk of disease, germs, or hygiene? After yesterday's milk demonstration a woman asked how she was to pay for this milk that was so important to her kids. Believe it or not, I hadn't even thought of this. A pint of evaporated milk which costs 50 francs will make one and one quarter quarts. If a family has five kids and each drinks a pint a day, that's 100 francs a day, or 40 cents on milk. Doesn't seem like much but it's probably more than the daily...

...bridge luncheon. But breathless rhetoric apparently is the norm for sensible English matrons who desert home and family to live in guilty splendor with pianists on the shores of Italy's Lago di Garda. Maureen and Rossano have no sooner snuggled into his sumptuous Villa Fiorita than her pint-sized son and daughter (Martin Stephens, Elizabeth Dear) arrive. They have paid their fare to Italy by selling the girl's pet pony, but they fully intend to put Mama back in harness. Soon they are joined by Brazzi's convent-bred daughter (Olivia Hussey...
