Moro had been playing a pivotal mediating role between Italy's Left and Right at a time of great tension between Moscow and Washington; he ended up a martyr of the Cold War. Giansanti's color photograph was seen all over the world and splashed onto the cover of TIME's European edition. (See pictures of Giansanti...

That's where they were walking a month ago when Ruca spotted what to a dog is considered a treasure: a bone jutting from the sandy soil. Ross had an uneasy feeling about the find, however.
