...center-left coalition. Should he falter, former Premier Aldo Moro is more than willing to replace him. Moro, also a Christian Democrat, has visibly moved from the center toward the left of late, even as Fanfani was moving from left to center. Fanfani's other chief rival is Francesco de Martino, Deputy Premier and the candidate of the Socialist Party, who has a firm promise of support from Italy's second largest party, the Communists.

Not any more. Last July Francesco broke a plow on what turned out to be the limestone roof of an ancient Lucanian tomb. Such tombs, decorated with the crude paintings of the local tribesmen who made them, have been found before in southern Italy. But this one was different. When excavated by Archaeologist Mario Napoli, superintendent of antiquities for the district of Salerno, the walls of the tomb were found...
