...severe stucco structure, the museum is set in a gracious garden of lawns, rosebushes, palms and pines at Ardea, 25 miles south of Rome. It houses 67 bronze sculptures, 271 drawings, 36 engravings and 40 gold figurines and medallions. All were donated by Inge Schabel, Manzu's longtime companion and model, with whom he has lived since 1954 and by whom he has two children, Giulia, 6, and Mileto, 4. Manzu had given the works to her as a kind of unofficial legacy. Otherwise, at his death, they would legally have gone to his wife. The couple have long...
...plot is as simple as a storybook. Philip (Mark Lester) is a ten-year-old child who wanders the moors of Devonshire, wondering at the endless varieties of nature around him. His only companion is a retired colonel (John Mills) who teaches him how to identify wildlife and how to train and fly a falcon. But Philip cannot communicate either his enthusiasm or thanks: he is autistic, a puzzle and a burden to his parents for most of his life. It is not until after he encounters a wild white colt early one morning that he begins even to respond...
...Anatoly Kuznetsov, 39, had explained that he needed to visit London in order to conduct research for a book on Lenin, who lived there in 1902.

Arriving in London on a two-week visa, Kuznetsov made it his first task to win the confidence of his traveling companion. Since Kuznetsov speaks no English, the Moscow Writers' Union had provided a translator, Georgy Andja-pazidze, a postgraduate student in English who is a Communist youth-club officer at the University of Moscow. Kuznetsov felt certain that Andjapazidze was what Russians call a mamka (nanny), a secret-police agent who was supposed to keep an eye on him. During the first four days, Kuznetsov behaved like a model Communist. On the fifth evening, during a tourist...
...Didn't Gargan and Markham Call the Police? Assuming that Kennedy was in a state of shock, the conduct of Gargan and Markham is nothing less than incomprehensible. They are both lawyers, although Gargan is used by Kennedy largely as companion for carrying out miscellaneous chores?making reservations, ordering food, emptying glasses and drawing baths. Though under no legal compulsion to do so, the two men could reasonably be expected to have called the police immediately if they were thinking of the girl. Not only would Mary Jo's body have been recovered faster, but her life might conceivably have...
