...Metropolitan Opera's beautiful soprano Anna Moffo has had more than her share of movie offers. But most of the roles were not for her, she said. They were just plain "dirty." Now Anna has apparently found the film she was waiting for. She is in Rome starring in Una Storia d'Amore, playing the long-suffering mistress of a flashy young cad who makes love to her (while taking blue movies with a remote-control camera), then tosses her out into the street.

Rumor also had a powerful ally in Rome's sweltering August heat, which has already driven about 200,000 res idents to seaside and mountains. This week, after the Italian Senate approves Italy's 31st postwar government, the Deputies will hasten to join them...
...break its identification with the colonial past and to find its place within the emerging nations (see box, page 65). The Church is growing so fast that realistic estimates of its adherents range from 30 million to 40 million-by far the largest Christian body in Africa.

...touchiest issues for Roman Catholicism is the reintroduction of African culture into the church. Most converts have long identified Catholicism with the Western European liturgy that they first learned. (TIME'S Rome Bureau Chief James Bell reported last week from Kampala that the Credo sung by Ugandan Catholics during the Pope's visit to Rubaga Cathedral was the purest Latin he had ever heard.) Until recently, older converts and African priests had resisted such innovations as Mass in the vernacular, native songs, instruments and dances, looking on them as part of their rejected past. Experimental native works like...
