Leonard is not the only one who blames the disagreements about women partly on the Pope's personal background. "He thinks of nuns as a servant class," says Rosemary Ruether, professor of theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill. "He brought nuns with him to Rome to cook his sausages. All his statements about women have only one thing to say: motherhood." The Pope got a taste of such criticisms on his visit to the U.S. in 1979. Sister Theresa Kane, then president of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union, declared in his presence that the church...
...while the film is not without humor--such as the scene where Adela's servant is brewing tea in a porcelain toilet bowl, for example--the film does sink occasionally into pomposity. Too many intense closeups or large-scale shots of clamoring, turbaning masses, combined with a bombastic, schmaltzy musical score, sometimes prove overwhelming.

...lust intact. ) He plays up to the powerful, pans a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, watches a cockfight, tells the story of how his wife burned her hand.

He personified the principle that the Soviet armed forces must ultimately be the servant of the Communist Party. Still, during his eight years in the post, the military appeared to have gained unprecedented influence within the Kremlin. Politburo Member Grigori Romanov, 61, was named head of Ustinov's funeral committee, prompting speculation that he would become Defense Minister. But Moscow announced on Saturday that Marshal Sergei L. Sokolov, 73, would replace Ustinov...
...what is said goes into the files to haunt them. In the Westmoreland trial, McNamara was a reluctant witness; for 13 years previously as head of the World Bank he ducked discussing Viet Nam on the ground that he could not talk about it as an international civil servant. Not many public officials are that lucky. They are usually condemned to explaining themselves constantly without getting much sympathy: They asked for it, didn't they? Businessmen can decline to talk; in fact, should one truthfully answer a reporter's question and acknowledge that his firm is going...
