...years, prove to be the most important thing we've done," notes Fleming. By supporting the studies of "young scholars" who will return to teach in their own countries, the Warren Center hopes to raise the low level of international interest in American history. An Indian and a Swede received appointments for last year's trial run of the program; this term four foreign scholars (from Japan, New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland) are at the Center...
...long film career as a supersleuth, Charlie was portrayed by six actors, none of them Chinese.* Best remembered are Warner Oland, a Swede, who appeared in 16 features, and Sidney Toler, a Missourian, who lumbered woodenly through 22 pictures portraying Charlie as the still life of the party.

In a series of what might be called flesh-backs, the man-as-boy (Jorgen Lindstrom) wanders in memory through a child's garden of sexual reverses. Among the obscene scenes: his mother summoning a crowd of drunken guests into her bedroom and letting them watch while...
