Berlinguer's party promptly struck back. Bristling at the "insults and bad faith" of the Soviet attack, P.C.I. Foreign Affairs Specialist Giancarlo Pajetta observed tellingly that "there is no Communist Vatican, and nobody can excommunicate us." Observed the Italian party daily L'Unità: "It seems to us strange and worrisome that the [Soviet party] has learned nothing from the numerous grave facts and ruptures of the past, which have strongly damaged, and continue to weigh upon, not only the cause of socialism, of peace, of liberty, but also on the Soviet Union itself...
...Coolidge Corner, Lina Wert-mueller's Swept Away makes you wonder if part of the avant-garde hasn't decided it is too cool for feminism.

Giancarlo Castiglioni, chief of surgery at the hospital, flew back from Milan to join the surgical team halfway through the operation. At length Castiglioni emerged to brief reporters. He was still wearing his green gown; his eyes were red-rimmed with exhaustion. In a barely audible voice, he announced: "The prognosis is reserved [because...
...Antoniello, born prematurely just five days before the quake. She had been trapped in her incubator. In Balvano, 90-year-old Donata Zarillo was rescued after spending 30 hours trapped in the wreckage of her kitchen. "We heard her beating a piece of wood against the wall," explained Fireman Giancarlo Rocchi...
