...hand will be a team of nine Americans, eight Englishmen, 50 Frenchmen and one Spaniard. Some will do the acting; others will handle the cameras as they sweep across the endless strips of white sand and incredibly blue bays. But the producer of Harry's Girls, Bill Friedberg, is less interested in the terrain than in the kind of girls he wants for Harry - the mostly bikinied, unemployed actresses and models who are found in abundance on the beaches of Cannes, Juan-les-Pins and Monte Carlo. They should make most viewers forget about Harry...
Ironically, for all his diplomatic savvy, Montini was also responsible last fall for one of the classic blunders in modern church history. Acting on bad advice from Milanese students, he sent a wire to Dictator Francisco Franco, protesting a death sentence that had been meted out to a young Spaniard. Franco cabled back, noting that Montini's telegram had been released to the press before it had reached Madrid, and that the sentence had been imprisonment, not death.

On the other hand, Zurbaran's St. Francis Praying, painted around 1650, is a surprisingly sophisticated example of religious preoccupation; St. Francis seems almost like a zealot...
...Worried Official. A number of progressive Spanish Catholics have long suspected that the church's attitude to Protestantism is a major cause of anti-Spanish feeling in the world. One influential Spaniard who feels most strongly on the subject is Spain's Foreign Minister Fernando Maria Castiella y Maiz, 55, a Basque and a close friend of Malaga's reform-minded Bishop Angel Herrera. Six years ago, Castiella began sounding out Spanish prelates on the need to do something to ease non-Catholic tribulations in Spain. By way of setting an example, he persuaded the government...
