...Curia-which Pius XII, no man to delegate wide authority, had neglected during the last few years. The Curia now has 24 instead of 13 cardinals, and the overall Italian representation in the College of Cardinals is now up from 17 to 29-not, Vaticaners feel, with a view to restoring the traditional Italian majority, but to revive Italian pride in the "senate of the church." Noted Corriere Delia Sera: "Even though the number of non-Italians is still preponderant, at least we are no longer the miserable one-third that we were reduced to during the previous pontificate...
...cliche reporting of the past, which conjured up a fantasy land of red Indians, vast, untamed distances, beady-eyed Wall Streeters, scofflaw Chicago gunmen, political beasts and, more recently, nutburgers, healthatoriums and two-story doghouses.

Norman Collins, 51, author and TV executive who originally...
...bolted rigidity invest him, as he jerks and jolts and fidgets through his films, with the marvelously absurd demeanor of an Eiffel Tower out for a Sunday stroll. But from his solitary eminence, Moviemaker Tati (Jour de Fête, Mr. Hulot's Holiday) takes a solemn view of the comic art and the contemporary scene. "Look what is happening to us," he glooms. "This specialization. Depersonalization is taking all the human meaning out of our daily life. A man used to be proud of the way he could drive. Now the car drives itself. A mother used...
