...most of her polemical songs and free-spirited antics are pretty silly. But the value of all this lies in its novelty, not in its depth. For in all her feminist enthusiasm, French director Agnes Varda fails to delve beyond the difficult circumstances of these women's lives to probe into their hearts and psyches. The resolutions of the two journeys are too simple--the widow cautiously remarries and finds happiness, while the singer leaves her domineering husband and, lo and behold, also finds happiness.

Foreign impressions of Begin have improved substantially in recent months. A number of Egyptian officials now argue that both Begin and Sadat are men of action who like to probe and test situations. The U.S. has grown less worried about Begin in office than about a disaster that would force him to resign.

...ONGOING PROBE of possible perjury committed by two International Telephone and Telegraph Company (ITT) executives--chief executive Harold S. Geneen and senior vice president Edward J. Gerrity--still awaits action by Justice, and a complete account by Helms as government witness rather than defendant might yet salvage a bit of legitimacy for the leniency recently shown him. Given the suspended sentence meted out to Helms and his retention of pension rights despite his no contest plea, such cooperation with the government would furnish some limited evidence that Helms indeed recognizes the gravity of his misdeeds. Otherwise, the nation will...
