...pieces of marble off Rome's Victor Emmanuel monument; three pedestrians were hurt. Police in the two cities promptly went into action. Three days later in Milan, they arrested Pietro Valpreda, 37, a sometime ballet dancer and member of an anarchist group called "March 22" (after the 1968 rebellion of French students at Nanterre University); seven people affiliated with the organization were also picked up in Rome. Valpreda and two other March 22 members were subsequently charged with strage (massacre) in the Milan bombing, a crime that carries a life sentence...
...found a final form. But in Harambee!, a drama about martyred black leaders, accompanied by five on stage drummers, his flair for sound and atmosphere brightened the stage of the ANTA with vivid scenes: the shooting of a black chief, a bust by the authorities, the re birth of rebellion in the up surge of anger that follows...

...plot of the ancient Japanese novel Narayanan. It tells of the primitive custom, the "Feast of the Dead", the execution of village elders who have become a burden on their children or have merely reached on untenable age. "Do the sacrificed elders often have a reaction of dread and rebellion?" de Beauvoir asks. She thinks evidence proves they do. Yet spanning the centuries as well as the distance between East and West, she concludes that old that old age has become life's parody in all societies, an end so degrading that it incurs more dread and rebellion than merciful...
