...face the risks. One Green Beret medic who deserted Army training at Fort Bragg, N.C., four years ago was arrested and was being court-martialed when he escaped and made his way to Sweden. Last summer he arrived in Canada with another American expatriate whom he had married in Stockholm. Now he wants to return to the U.S. "I have a feeling for the U.S. and the future," he says. "I'm not cynical. I hope things go better." Yet he realizes that as a deserter who escaped while under arrest, he faces even stiffer penalties than most...
...statement last December. Palme, 45, an intense, dedicated socialist, compared the aerial attacks on Hanoi and Haiphong to the past atrocities of "Guernica, Oradour, Babi Yar, Katyn, Lidice, Sharpeville, Treblinka." Washington, long annoyed by Sweden's harsh criticism of the U.S. role in the war, reacted sharply, telling Stockholm, in effect, not to bother sending a new ambassador to the U.S. capital for the time being. Will those ill feelings last into the peace? Palme for one does not think so, as he explained in an interview with TIME'S Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter. Excerpts...

It was the first of several strains that life on Fårö was to entail...
Bergman loathed parties and was averse to travel outside his usual working orbit of Fårö and Stockholm. Once when he did venture to Rome to see Federico Fellini, his favorite film director, Liv could barely budge him from the hotel room. He insisted that they return every day to the first restaurant they had tried; luckily for both they had not stopped at a snack bar. At dinner he always ordered for both of them. When she recently dined at a restaurant with Bergman and his new wife, Ingrid, Liv watched curiously to see if the pattern...
...Bergman's work marked that director's broadest progression away from both adolescent psychological drama and baroque imagery, towards a mature acceptance of emotional struggle and transformation, and a pure film style based on character. Dealing with an aging doctor's recognition of his sins during a trip to Stockholm taken with his daughter-in-law, the film develops in vignettes suggested by the scenes which remind the doctor of his youth. It is not as piercing as such later Bergman films as Persons and A Passion, but it is more hopeful, and thus perhaps more satisfying. Victor Sjosfrom...
