CARLO AZEGLIO CIAMPI, ITALY'S NEW PRIME MINister, hit the ground running last week -- and almost stayed there. Hours after swearing in his Cabinet, Ciampi faced his first crisis. The lower house of Parliament voted in a secret ballot to let former Prime Minister Bettino Craxi avoid trial on four of the most serious of six charges of corruption and election-law violations. The votes came either from his old cronies or from opposition legislators who want to force new elections. Thousands of people took to the streets in Rome, Milan, Genoa and other cities to protest that cowardly display...

There was a lot of trusting of instincts in this building." There was also a bow in the direction of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum. As in the Guggenheim, visitors move from level to level in a flow of curving space. But the tyranny Wright imposed with...
...ideological inspiration. It is a quiet, sentimental little love story that happens to be set against a university background, a sort of La Chinoise for squares. When a French graduate student (Thalie Fruges) goes to bed with her professor boyfriend (Vit Olmer) for the first time, Director Yves Ciampi actually cuts to an exterior long shot of the light being turned out in the garret -a graceful, old-fashioned touch that is fairly typical of the entire film. Activists will be angry that Ciampi is obviously more interested in passion than politics, since he uses last spring's political...
