...unclear whether "The Swindler" refers to one of the three major characters of his 1955 film, or to Director Federico Fellini himself. If one went to "The Swindler" in the proper mind-obliterating mood, one might be able to see it as described in the little blurb handed out by the Brattle: "Here, Fellini makes no concessions; with an utterly serious tone, he throws in our face all the desolate solitude, the crucl absurdity of the world: it is a cry from hell." Unfortunately for Fellini, the long-distance lines from hell have been rather busy lately, and his message...
...Happy," says the heroine of Betty Smith's fourth novel, "is when somebody gives you a big lump of something, and it's too big to hold." Harper & Row has a big lump of something here-genus unclear-that should bring happiness to its accountants and joy to the mornings of women readers everywhere. Fans of Novelist Smith may at first be put off to find that the Brooklyn of A Tree Grows in and Maggie-Now has been replaced by a Midwestern college campus, but the fact is that mythical Brooklyn has merely been transplanted-with...
Senate and House committees began hearings this week on the President's civil rights bill, the first skirmish an arduous legislative battle that most likely will last through the torrid weeks of mid-summer and into the cool of autumn.

With 15 operas, 12 symphonies, 25 film scores, 15 ballets, 35 concertos and 18 string quartets (he stopped when he had written more than Beethoven) behind him, his message is still unclear; in works heavy with both aphorism and enigma, his music ranges from the insufferably bizarre to the ineffably beautiful...
Duvalier's overture to the U.S. fell on deaf ears. The State Department recalled Ambassador Raymond L. Thurston for "consultation" on U.S. policy in Haiti. How far the U.S. would go was unclear. The question is: After Duvalier, what? The Haitians in exile are poorly organized and mostly led by men whose past records would earn them a small hello. Inside Haiti, Duvalier's strongest enemy is little better than "Papa Doc" himself. He is Clement Barbot, 49, a longtime Duvalier crony and killer, who bossed the dread Tonton Macoute goon squads until Duvalier turned...
