...Roman Catholic Church and the Czech Communist government were heading for a showdown. Since March, when the church refused to agree to the nationalization of all Catholic schools or to recognize the state's right of veto on church appointments, the Communist propaganda machine has been screaming that the higher clergy and the Vatican are allied with "Anglo-American imperialists and fascists." Last week the new Communist-front Catholic Clergy Gazette unsubtly intimated that some priests could expect a higher income if they would only show "a positive attitude...
Hispanidad is a curious, almost indefinable doctrine. Its present-day adherents preach that only by a spiritual union of the New World's Spanish-speaking countries with Roman Catholic Mother Spain can mankind be saved from godless Communists and heretical Anglo-Saxons.

Sharp & Tired. Yet the hits of the show seemed to be two less well known Italian sculptors, both in their 40s and both art teachers in Milan. Francesco Messina had sent a polished bronze Pugilatore, done in the old Roman tradition of sharp realism. Pugilatore had the punch-dazed, flat-footed weariness, the slumping shoulders of a bantamweight turning back to his corner after the tenth round...
