Perhaps because Portugal has been a colonial power for so long,* most modern Portuguese profess to see no distinction between the homeland and the Overseas Provinces, which are no longer referred to as colonies. Vivid in the memories of adult Portuguese are grade school wall maps on which Portugal (roughly the size of Indiana) was always accompanied by its mammoth possessions. Superimposed on the map of Europe, they extended clear across Spain and France. The message of the maps: "Portugal is not a small country." Last week events on two continents hastened the day when Portugal will in fact...
Unmoved by all this, Kenya's biggest African party, the K.A.N.U., led by James Gichuru and Tom Mboya, vowed to sabotage the new constitution until Kenyatta gets his freedom. Both Gichuru and Mboya now refer to Kenyatta as "our national leader," openly profess their intention of installing him as Kenya's first African prime minister. In part, this deference to Jomo is dictated by fear of the almost godlike status which 30 years of nationalist struggle has won Kenyatta among Kenya's black masses...
...alternative would represent a substantial concession on the part of Catholics. Nevertheless, we think this is a concession Catholics may be called upon to make. If it is necessary for the passage of the bill, it should, with whatever difficulty, be made.

...least idea what "gradual and relentless authoritarianism" is, but in any case it has far more the air of a conservative slogan than of a clear, analytic position. In other words, Advance's categorizations won't do; the magazine is fat with the standard phraseology of the men they profess to reject. It is not so harsh as that of the National Review, but it is all here: "reckless spending," "aggrandisement of federal power," and even "Big government." And there is also an original Dowling carton: "Labor Leaders" and "Liberal Experimenters" and "Spenders" sit grinning in a horseless cart while...
...Michael Curtiz settled on Assisi, and it proved a happy choice. When Curtiz complained that the authentically medieval town hall did not look old enough, the village submitted to a 20th Century-Fox makeup job. When he called for extras, there were hundreds of volunteers, including both Communists, who profess special regard for St. Francis, and members of the local Franciscans. The monks also gave Producer Plato Skouras, son of Spyros, free use of their archives and buildings-including the exquisitely ornamental papal throne room of Assisi's 12th century basilica. The Franciscans' only restriction: no women within...
