...regard themselves as Italy's "true" Communists. Renewed outbreaks of terrorist violence are unlikely to help Berlinguer at the polls. Last week, for example, Milan's deputy public prosecutor, Emilio Alessandrini, was assassinated by a group linked to the Red Brigades. He was the third terrorist victim in a month and the 34th in the past 13 months. Protesting his murder, Milan's trade unions called a four-hour work standstill during Alessandrini's funeral...
...Look fell victim to television competition, rising postal rates and the high cost of subscription renewals. The new Look hopes to sidestep such difficulties, concentrating on single-copy sales from racks in supermarkets, shopping centers and stationery stores. Look people regard LIFE's revival four months ago as an encouraging icebreaker. If LIFE does well, they hold, Look may too. So far the LIFE signs are good.

By the time the inevitable climax finally arrives, most moviegoers may wish they had stayed at home to watch a truly exciting sport-like, say, The $20,000 Pyramid...
...Wahlöö look like Ellery Queen. Van de Wetering's novels meander along, with asides on the foibles of human nature and gracefully written filaments of Eastern philosophy. The plot is announced early in the narrative and dispatched at the end as quickly as a victim. The author, 48, was once a Buddhist monk in Japan (he wrote about that arduous life in An Empty Mirror). He returned to The Netherlands, spent some time in the Amsterdam police force, and migrated again, this time to Maine. The new book is set there, in a coastal town called Jameson...
Johnson supporters say that Terrance is one more black victim to P.G. County racism. White residents, the police and country officials instead focus on the two policemen slain on duty as the real victims in the case. But really, Johnson, the two policemen, and the torn P.G. community itself, like America in general, are all victims of a long-lived, deep-rooted racism that seems as hard to overcome now as it has ever been...
