Holy Pictures. THE PEOPLE ASK THE WALL, headlined the newspaper Juventud Rebelde. Employees at Havana's airport demanded that the execution be carried out there, and the purser of the hijacked plane asked to be a member of the firing squad. Betancourt will almost certainly be executed, and his accomplices sent to jail for long terms, at best. As for the two priests, they may escape with exile-after Castro has milked dry their participation in the plot. The government put great emphasis on the role of the priests and the church in Betancourt's escape, and newspapers...
Pasolini's nervous, mobile camera scores great triumphs in crowd scenes, where it permits us a fascinating sense of participation, as in documentary. But it has its liabilities too. Just after Jesus is tried we see one of the disciples on an empty street, crouching against a wall. The street is still, he is still, he is alone; it is illogical and disturbing that our image of him jerks up and down...

Stock Exchange close of $80.37½, Hughes will gross well over $500 million. In Wall Street's record books, the secondary offering will rank behind only the Ford Foundation's $658 million sale of Ford stock ten years ago. Hughes stands to net about $400 million on his original investment of some $90 million in TWA. What will he do with the money? Said...
