Democrats have signed up 'to speak against the bill, Chamber President Alessandro Pertini has announced that "we will divorce ourselves from our summer vacation" unless progress is prompt. Since no one wants to remain in Rome in August, the Deputies are expected to approve the bill late next month. The Senate will then be able to act on it after the August break...
...Grange, where 60,000 people showed up, the crowds were amazingly small. Some Protestant traditionalists showed their displeasure at the visit by holding a prayer vigil at the supposed site of Calvin's grave, and nine Presbyterian ministers picketed World Council headquarters with signs saying "No peace with Rome" shortly before the Pope's arrival. The major threat to the peace of the day-a planned demonstration by Ulster's militant Rev. Ian Paisley-was foiled when Swiss authorities stopped him at the airport...

Gilles pie, who first went to Italy on a Fulbright in 1963, paints with tempera and oil on wood panels, as did Bellini and Giorgione, and loves Renaissance perspective. He limns tiny images of skinned-looking women or bloated, lecherous men as zestfully as Bosch him self, and sets them against the wall of a squalid Roman slum. Surrealistically oozing globules and pustules contrast with saints' pictures...
