...rest of the world, Switzerland is a land of placid tranquillity and order nestling amid picture-postcard scenery. Yet of late it has been the scene of doings that would make the ministrants of Rosemary's Baby blush. For the past four weeks, the gruesome evidence has poured forth in a Zurich courtroom. On trial are six people, including Joseph Stocker, 61, a defrocked and excommunicated South German priest, and his fanatically religious mistress, Magdalena Kohler, 54. The charge...
...shot of the boy's bloody body floating in a lake. Most disturbing of all, Lumet and Cinematographer Gerry Fisher (Accident) have shot the whole film in softly gauzed pastel colors, thereby reducing Chekhov's intricate dramatic tapestry to the sleazy cheapness of a picture postcard...
...August. A salesman (Charles Aznavour) becomes a summer bachelor when his wife and children take to the shore. Along comes the predictable blonde (Susan Hampshire) to scratch his seven-year itch.

Both Caribbean resort islands have a heavy Negro majority and a predominantly Negro party with the same initials (P.L.P.). Each also has a largely white-and business-dominated party with the same initials (U.B.P.). But there, all coincidence ends. In the Bahamas, the predominantly white United Bahamian Party was decisively voted from power in elections held last year. In Bermuda, voters went to the polls last week and just as decisively re-elected their predominantly white United Bermuda Party, giving it a commanding majority of 30 seats...
