During the past year, though, the Christian Democrats have suddenly found their right flank exposed. In last June's local elections, the Neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano made substantial gains by preaching the need for more law-and-order. Now the M.S.I, is trying to rally Catholics to its banner on a referendum against a controversial divorce law that Parliament passed in 1970. In order to keep the vote of Italy's conservative Catholics, the Christian Democrats cannot openly oppose the referendum-but a waffling stance threatens their alliance with the Socialists, who are adamantly opposed to repeal...
...Sica could also make less promising films. During the later 50's and 60's his art degenerated into trite moralistic statements that crossed the fine line between his somberly human neo-Realism and the more impersonal symbolism of documentaries-with-a-message. As for the Liberal Catholic and social critic, his heroic posturing proves something of an over-compensation for the remorse engendered by playing a confidence game of his own during the German Occupation...
Smear Tactics. Though Loeb has been the dominant force in New Hampshire journalism since he bought into the Union Leader in 1946, he does not even live in the state. Rather, he divides his time between a ranch near Reno and a stately neo-Tudor home at Prides Crossing, Mass., 60 miles south of Manchester. He seldom shows up at the Union Leader but phones the paper every day from wherever he happens to be, to "keep track of things" and often to dictate a front-page editorial straight off the cuff. He never writes them out in advance because...
...Ticket. The old days meant a great barn of a place called the Syria Mosque, where the only thing murkier than the sound was the drab walls. By contrast, Heinz Hall is a gay neo-Baroque extravaganza of red, white and gold. Its roomy halls and stairways exude an old-world charm seldom equaled by more up-to-date structures of glass and steel. As is typical of old movie theaters, there is not a single seat with a bad sight line-more than can be said for the Concert Hall in Washington's new Kennedy Center...
Died. Arthur Spingarn, 93, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from 1940 to 1966; in Manhattan. Arthur and Joel Spingarn, sons of a well-to-do Jewish tobacco merchant, were so moved by the 1909 Lincoln Day Call-a manifesto of neo-Abolitionist fervor that urged an uplift movement for blacks-that they joined the founders of the N. A. A.C.P. Joel became the group's second president while Arthur headed its national legal committee. Arthur marched in the streets to protest lynchings, and smashed glasses in the Manhattan saloons that discouraged integrated patronage...
