Breadth to Scholars. In Italy, reli gious publishers have their own unofficial catalogue of bishops, distinguishing the easy marks from tough critics. Ital ian imprimatur seekers have found that bishops of smaller dioceses tend to be much faster in approving books. For that reason, the Sons of Mary Immaculate, who operate a huge publishing house, and a bookstore only a few hun dred yards from the Vatican, get most of their imprimaturs from Bishop Luigi Morstabilini of Brescia, in northern Italy. A theologian himself, Morstabilini has been discovered by other publishers as well, issues an imprimatur every two or three...

Though the Viet Cong are a powerful political force in some parts of the country. South Viet Nam stands a good chance of voting a non-Communist majority because of its sociological complexity...
Appropriately enough, the Communist UFOs tend to sickle shapes rather than full saucers. Moscow Aviation Institute's Professor Fedor Y. Zigel, who is plugging for a joint UFO investigation by Soviet, U.S. and other scientists, says that one flaming "sickle" over the Ukraine even executed evasive maneuvers when tracked by a plane. Zigel tantalized Moscow TV viewers two weeks ago by raising the possibility that, while such observations could be due to optical illusions or mischievous atmospherics, they might also mean visitors from another world...
