...Ecumenical Council ended in Rome last month, the Polish delegation headed by Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, acting in the truest spirit of Christian reconciliation, invited East and West Germany's 54 bishops, archbishops and cardinals to attend the ceremonies in Czestochowa next May marking the 1,000th anniversary of the conversion of Poland's King Mieczyslaw I. Wrote the Polish churchmen: "We grant forgiveness and ask forgiveness. Let us forget. No polemics. No more cold...
...resources of myth and hope and wonderment that are his heritage, modern man seems to be doing his best to dismiss death as an unfortunate incident. Carl Jung warned against abandoning the traditional view of death "as the fulfillment of life's meaning and its goal in the truest sense, instead of a mere meaningless cessation." Psychologist Rollo May feels that the repression of death "is what makes modern life banal, empty and vapid. We run away from death by making a cult of automatic progress, or by making it impersonal. Many people think they are facing death when...
...Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams. It is not pure happenstance that the three truest plays of the modern American theater, Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman and Williams' The Glass Menagerie, are family dramas.

In his presidential campaign last summer against Communist-backed Salvador Allende, Frei promised voters a long list of desperately needed economic and social reforms. Partly because of his personal appeal and partly because of widespread distaste for the Marxist Allende, Frei rolled up the largest plurality in Chilean history. Yet in office he faced a lame-duck Congress, in which his party held a scant 33 of the 192 seats, so few that he was unable to win passage...
...stunt worthy of Gulley Jimson? Hundertwasser, 36, is not fictional and is twice as eccentric. He writes steamy manifestoes, the most famous of which praised rust, rot and decay as mankind's truest friends. Now living in Venice, he sometimes dresses like an unholy relic in caftan, brocaded jacket and boots, sometimes in a kimono to match his Japanese wife. He painted his Citroën sedan in varying hues of metallic violet and noted it in his life catalogue as his 445th work of art. The rest of his 611 recorded works are the product of a wise...
