The words were those of Enrico Berlinguer, the deputy leader of the Italian Communist Party, and he was addressing the other 74 delegations at the world Communist summit meeting in Moscow. Berlinguer was criticizing the 47-page communiqué that the Soviets hoped all the parties would sign as a symbol...
Though a team of writers and editors worked round the clock considering some 300 amendments and incorporating 30 of them into the text, the document was still not tailored to Italian taste by the time the conference wound up last week. Berlinguer signed only the section of the four-part document that dealt with the need for combatting imperialism.

But his duties include appointing the Executive Council, which conceivably will create a minor problem of who appoints whom first. The constitution also provides for a Senate with black representation but a permanent white majority, and a House of Assembly...
