Died. Giovanni Guareschi, 60, Italy's most popular political humorist, whose tales of Don Camillo, a village priest forever at swordspoint with his Red mayor, gave readers throughout the world a taste of Communism, Italian style; of a heart attack; in Cervia, Italy. With gentle wit and nimble satire, in five novels, Guareschi illuminated a curiously Italian phenomenon-the Catholic who prays in church but pays his dues to the Party-all to the delight of readers in 16 languages...
...skill at twirling and tossing dough ten feet into the air made Pizza Baker Camillo Calogero a consistent crowd pleaser at a Lynbrook, N.Y., pizzeria. Then, one day last September, his neck was broken in an auto accident; he was no longer able to make the flamboyant motions needed to fling high the pizza dough. The 33-year-old father of three children sued for damages. Rejecting a defense claim that pizza can be simply flattened on a table with the hands, and considering other injuries to Calogero, a twelve-man jury awarded him $335,000. At his old salary...

To the horror of her husband, Prince Camillo Borghese, she went through money even faster than men, but she always found cash when Big Brother needed it. Were she and Napoleon lovers? Several members of the family always liked to think so. In any case, Pauline was burnt out at 40. Her circulation became permanently deranged, and to warm...
...excellence which marks the play's somber acts. Brian Norman has all the energy of the young prince Mamillius with unusual naturalness for someone so young; while Joan Tolentino as Paulina lightens the pervading gloom with her tart-tongued intimidation of Leontes and his lords. Only David Mills's Camillo could be improved substantially; extremely expressive, (he might show more teeth and fewer tonsils), he seems too weak (at times almost boobish) to be so trusted a counsel to both kings...
