...Ninth Circle (Jadran; Interprogress Trading) proves that Yugoslavia, notable among moviemakers chiefly as the place where Italian directors went to shoot horse pictures when their budgets ran low, has more to offer than well-disciplined extras. The film is a love story, set in Zagreb during the purge of the Jews in the early years of World War II. A Jewish family is arrested, except for a 17-year-old girl, Ruth (Dusica Zegarac).

Though fear of official displeasure probably distorted the results in the regime's favor (43.6% of the students thought Yugoslavia the world's most democratic country), 32.8% thought the system had "crippling" flaws. In defining democracy, 28.4% said it meant citizens deciding all questions for themselves, 25% said freedom of expression was necessary, and only 19% gave the orthodox answer of "workers' self-government."
