Recently, Green Beret Captain Robert Marasco appeared on the show to justify his killing of a Vietnamese double agent. On another program, Fashion-Model Czarina Eileen Ford got into a ranting match with two other women over whether mannequins are sexually promiscuous (some are, some aren't). Author Luigi Barzini told of the time that Mussolini, accompanied by a phalanx of officials and journalists, was motoring through the countryside. Suddenly the caravan halted and Il Duce got out and walked to a wall, apparently to gaze at the scene. Everybody else respectfully went over to share the leader's bucolic...
Whatever strength the party possesses in Western Europe comes largely from what Italian Author Luigi Barzini describes as "the voters, millions of them, who know practically nothing of Marxism but are vaguely attracted by what they know as the poor people's natural party."

Chemical-making Montecatini Edison, Italy's largest private industrial corporation, was long the leading shareholder in both Italpi and Sade-Finanziaria, holding companies that, as it happens, control Montecatini Edison. Italmobiliare is 100% owned by Italcementi, an important shareholder in Bastogi, which in turn owns...
