...tenacity-at this point her only obvious political virtue-seems hardly to allow for such a solution. More realistically, some favor a brief coup by the military that would forcibly put Isabel on a plane to Spain and then turn the administration over to Luder. A number of younger plotters within the army would like to see the military suspend both the constitution and elections and rule the country directly. These potential rebels are themselves divided: one faction favors a left-wing junta as in Peru, another a right-wing version like Brazil...
...tolerance of Soviet interference. At a recent meeting of the Presidium, Party Chief Stane Dolanc denounced "Cominformists" as "traitors to our country." Another Party leader spoke balefully of "black clouds of Stalinism hovering over the horizon." The Yugoslav press has published a host of articles apparently designed to educate younger Party members about the nature of the 1948 dispute with Moscow. The past six issues of the leading weekly newsmagazine NIN, for example, have carried a blow-by-blow account of the Tito-Stalin break...
Gift of Love. The film's slightly academic tone may be a reflection of its origins. Six years ago, Truffaut read a biography of Victor Hugo's younger daughter Adele, which was based largely on her coded diaries.

In 1775 a boy or girl of seven or eight, especially if his or her parents were not very well off (and few were), might already be learning a trade or working in the field, or cooking and cleaning and taking care of even younger children. The usual age of students who entered college was 15 or even less. Young people married quite early and began to have children immediately. Now childhood extends, arguably, into the end of the second decade of life. The concept of "adolescence" is ours-and was unknown to colonial parents. Our children...
...concedes that in her younger days, her own shyness gave her a frantic need to be on the scene. Modeling gave her self-confidence, and acting "is a vent for my fantasies." Last week in Manhattan, cuddling her Shih Tzu, K.K. (short for King Kong), she reminisced about her most notable fantasy to date, Lady Lyndon. Done up like a portrait by Gainsborough, Marisa seems the model of 18th century English womanhood, even to the torrents of tears Lady Lyndon sheds at her son's death. "I could do nothing else but cry, looking at that sweet...
