PROTESTANT AND ORTHODOX CENTER. For a wordless but eloquent little film called Parable, Writer-Director Rolf Forsberg chose a setting much like the fair itself. A sad-eyed clown in whiteface trails behind a circus troupe, collects a host of friends and a slew of enemies. Finally, when he frees some human puppets from their cruel manipulator and takes their place, he is slain. Forsberg's film is thoughtful and beautifully handled...
Question of Taste. Discontent has dogged the project ever since the film-scripted by Rolf Forsberg, who is, of all things, a practicing Buddhist-was started. Two members of the pavilion's steering committee resigned in protest over the "sacrilegious and improper" portrayal. Last week Fair President Robert Moses, whose eye seems to be on every sparrow of impropriety, asked that the film be withdrawn, saying that he and his staff have grave doubts about the "good taste and validity of the film presenting Jesus as a clown...

Fittingly, the disturbance pre-echoed a scene in the play, also faint with street noises but ringing with inner turmoil, in which the Jews of Rome are rounded up, virtually under the windows of the Vatican, and shipped off in cattle cars to Hitler's extermination camps. And within the papal apartments, according to German Playwright Rolf Hochhuth, sat a man who by a word might have stayed that...
