Died. Dr. Karl Jaspers, 86, eminent German philosopher, whose explorations into the nature of man established him as one of the foremost existentialist thinkers of his day; after a long illness; in Basel, Switzerland. Jaspers was a trained psychiatrist with deep spiritual convictions and a profound faculty for logic. Yet he considered science, religion, and reason incapable of elucidating man's complexities, holding that man can only grasp his authentic Being through confrontation with the vicissitudes of life. Like Kierkegaard, Jaspers embraced the Judeo-Christian belief that "however minute a quantity the individual may be among the factors that...
Amid rigged climaxes and sobbing violins, Smith acts Miss Brodie with tact and subtlety. But even profound craftsmanship cannot create sympathy. From the opening it is clear Miss Brodie is a petty self-deceiver and the fabric of her life is threadbare and shabby. The rest of the film is only variations on a seam.

His lawyer grandfather was a Sardinian republican in the days of the Italian monarchy; his lawyer father was a socialist anti-Fascist during the Mussolini era. Berlinguer studied law before he decided "to fight for the profound transformation of all social assets" and at 21 joined the Communist Party. Jailed by the Fascists for activities in Sardinia, Berlinguer came to the attention of the party's leader, Palmiro Togliatti...
...successive cover stories. "To Heal a Nation" and "Black vs. Jew" are far and away the ablest, most perceptive and best balanced diagnoses of the nation's two most urgent and baffling internal problems: the deeper causes, and perhaps some prescription for cure, of the pervasive and profound malaise which afflicts the nation's psyche, and the highly complex and intractable confrontation of the nation's two largest and most influential minorities-an alienation which cannot possibly be understood or mitigated merely as resurgent "anti-Semitism." More; these two masterly pieces take places among the half-dozen...
