Authorities decided to bury the dead on the mountain where they had died. The survivors went home to Montevideo and picked up life as best they could.

From the viewpoint of Christian ethics, though, it was not certain that the men on the mountainside had sinned by eating the flesh of their dead companions. By and large, Roman Catholic moral theologians agreed that the act was justified under the circumstances. A few perhaps extravagantly, even likened the situation to the central...
Acting also figures significantly in the success of The Godfather--by far the year's most interesting and accomplished American film.

He is a tremendously gifted artist, selecting and molding even the most casual event, and his method works...
