...carrying out the verdict" seemed open to different interpretations. Had the Red Brigades really killed Aldo Moro? If so, where had the execution taken place and what had they done with his body? Communiqué No. 9 gave no details. Many politicians shared the view of Justice Minister Paolo Bonifacio: "I consider the terrorist communiqué authentic. But I don't believe the final sentence. I think it more probable that it's a terrorist gambit to heighten the tension in the country." Indeed, three weeks before, a message, later disavowed by the Red Brigades but still believed...
...prison, the charismatic Aquino has managed to turn the campaign into a genuine contest-with some unwitting help from the government. Last month Aquino was given the chance on national television to rebut official charges that he had been a CIA agent. Speaking from his detention center in Fort Bonifacio, Aquino first coolly refuted the CIA charge. Then, with millions of Manilans still glued to their TV sets, he launched into a crisp, rapid-fire denial of a raft of other government charges against him.

...religious laws forbade them to touch pasteboard decks at Passover. Silk and cotton or plaited straw were inlaid into the cards to reproduce gay theatrical costumes in their original fabric, like the 17th century Pulcinello opposite. The superb min-chiate (or tarot) cards done in the 15th century by Bonifacio Bembo for Filippo Visconti, Duke of Milan, are so elaborate in their detailed painting, embossment and gilding that they could seldom, if ever, have been used...
