...acted very nobly. He remained a fascist loyal to the ousted Mussolini. At war's end he was imprisoned for hanging partisans, but was granted amnesty after only three years. Flabby and bulb-nosed, the "Black Prince," as Italians refer to him, was kicked out of the neo-Fascist Parliamentary Party for extremism. Three months ago, he told a newsman that "the state is so rotten it will not even be necessary to give it a small push." Last week a warrant was out for Borghese's arrest on grounds that he had tried to push...
...home, aside from selling out, and actually here we can take the crudest Marxist interpretation and do very well, provided that we don't talk about some Greek bourgeoisie-better talk about foreign capital. It's really an exercise in modern imperialism. Greece is a beautiful example of what neo-imperialism does. It's a crude story, so crude that you don't have to be too well-read to understand. The reading is there...
ROBERT FRANK, who came to Harvard two weeks ago to show his films and talk to students in the Visual Studies Department, seemed profoundly uncomfortable when asked to introduce his works. As the Carpenter Center seems out of place in the midst of its red-brick, ivied, neo-classic or neo-gothic architectural neighbors (prompting the famous remark of Classics Professor John Huston Finley: "It looks like two pianos copulating!"), Frank felt out of place being even remotely in the vicinity of a school.

There are both concrete and at the same time surreal situations, like all the other sounds and images of the film. The hero Paulo Martins embodies all of the central dialectical...
Permanently Grounded. In 1946, when the Elder Statesman Victor Emmanuel Orlando first heard the 26-year-old Colombo deliver a speech before the Constituent Assembly, he said: "Now there is a Colombo [dove, in Italian] that will fly." What with labor unrest and the upsurge in neo-Fascist rioting, this dove has enough problems to keep him from taking wing for a while. Still, there is a chance-an outside chance, admittedly-that for the first time since De Gasperi retired in 1953, Italy may at last have a Premier who is not permanently grounded...
