...cosmopolitan or quite so zany as Rome's Via Veneto-the broad, tree lined avenue known to Italy's American colony as "the Beach." And for a decade past, the heart of the Beach has been the polyglot, block-long Caffé Doney. There in the soft Roman night, Italians and tourists alike sat till the wee hours beneath bright sidewalk umbrellas, sipping whisky, apéritifs or coffee, and watching the Via Veneto's endless parade of smartly dressed girls, pomaded gigolos and international celebrities, ranging from Brazilian Playboy "Baby" Pignatari to Hollywood's Clark...

Other Men's Deaths. Author West is a Roman Catholic, but his book is intensely Christian beyond the limits of creed. Like Graham Greene and Francois Mauriac, West is concerned with sin and redemptive grace, but without their somewhat morbid preoccupation with evil. Rarely has the vocation of a priest or the problems of leading a Christian life been explored with such dramatic passion and compassion. One quality is completely absent-what Author West himself calls the "peppermint piety" of the stock religious bestseller...
