...their films. But increasingly the actor in Europe has become less important than the man who calls the shots. When France's Jean-Luc Godard makes a film, the title is virtually irrelevant. Satyricon is the official name of a forthcoming fantasy about the sexual excesses of ancient Rome, but the knowing audience may be attracted more by the movie's unofficial title: "The New Fellini." Such Italian directors as Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti and Vittorio De Sica are also, in effect, the titles of their films, as are Swedish Director Ingmar Bergman and celebrated French Film Makers...
...some reason, the year following an Olympiad is usually one for track's record books. Olympic medal winners seem to work extra hard to prove that their victories were no flukes; the losers muster extra energy to prove that their defeats were. Thus, in 1961, after the Rome games, no fewer than eleven major world marks were shattered. In 1965, after Tokyo, another 14 fell...
...paid by the CIA? Why are you speaking in this bourgeois theater?" That was Firebrand Danny Cohn-Bendit, leveling a barrage of billingsgate at Herbert Marcuse, the aging Pied Piper of the New Left, who appeared at Rome's Eliseo Theater to give a lecture, "Beyond the One-Dimensional Man."

She dined early at Giggi Fazi with Romano Mussolini (one of Benito's sons) and his wife Maria (Sophia Loren's sister), then put on a show at the Teatro Sistina that nearly brought the palazzo down. Dressed in a simple blouse and skirt, Ella warbled her standards: Mack the Knife, Mister Paganini, A Man And A Woman, then answered...
Central Mysteries. Actually, Rome's reform was an attempt to carry out one of the mandates of the Second Vatican Council: to update an antiquated liturgical calendar that was cluttered with unfamiliar, and in some cases probably fictional figures. Some of the updating consisted of replacing little-known early martyrs (and no less than 17 early Popes) with a wider sampling of countries and vocations: the newly included Uganda martyrs,* for instance, are among the calendar's relatively few laymen. A more important reason: renewed emphasis through the liturgical year on the central mysteries of Christ...
