Almost Too Good. The final results may not be tabulated for weeks. But incomplete returns show Marcos and his Nacionalista Party beating Liberal Party Candidate Sergio Osmeña Jr. by perhaps 1,700,000 out of 7,000,000 votes counted so far. The scope of Marcos' victory was almost embarrassing. As he met with his supporters in Malacañang Palace to claim victory late in the evening of election day, he was leading in every single precinct then reporting. "How can that be?" complained Osmeña. "This is the dirtiest election we have ever...
...steal a scene from either Bombolini would amount to grand larceny, and the supporting players are all petty. Virna Lisi, as an icy aristocrat, is confined to reaction shots opposite her two admirers: Hardy Kruger, a profile of German authority, and Sergio Franchi, a profile, period. The show's force does not reassert itself until the appearance of the extras, a cluster of paesani recruited from an Italian village 36 miles south of Rome. They provide a chorus con brio, and give the film verisimilitude no casting office could provide. "The Italian race," wrote Mussolini, "is a race...

Wasson missed ordination in the U.S. because of poor health, came to Cuernavaca to recuperate, and was ordained by Méndez Arceo. Today he presides over a remarkable orphanage that Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm recently praised as "really rare-an institution that has happy orphans." The secret, says Fromm, is that each of Wasson's 900 orphans knows "he will not be expelled or abandoned for any reason"-yet at the same time...
There is no idleness in Don Sergio's diocese either-nor any dread of sudden expulsion. It is rather, says Leroy Hoinacki, a former Illich colleague now at U.C.L.A., "a symbol and a source of inspiration. It is a joyful place, with no fear, no suspicion. Any young priest, sister or layman who has hopes of being a Christian, especially within the structure, looks to Cuernavaca and Don Sergio. They are living the Gospel as it should be lived." German Catholic Theologian Johannes Metz agrees. Don Sergio's benign but active leadership, says Metz-who is dedicating...
