There would be glory enough for all. Back home in Italy, grave old (80) President Einaudi, immersed in a copy of the Economist, dropped the magazine and leaped out of his chair in glee. "It's like a flower in the buttonhole," glowed Turin's La Stampa. In absentia, Professor Desio, a reserve officer in the Alpini, was promoted from captain to major...
...Fanfani "urged" De Gasperi to continue as party secretary, and professed to be surprised when the old man said no. Presumably Fanfani then promised to back De Gasperi for President of Italy, a job with more prestige than power, which will probably fall vacant when 81-year-old Luigi Einaudi finishes his seven-year term next May. Fanfani also reportedly gave assurances of continued backing to the government of fellow Demo-Christian Mario Scelba, and promised that for the next year, at least, he would not seek public office. He arranged for the Vatican's vital nihil obstat, delivered...
...anybody except Reds. Actually, Author-Journalist Giovanni Guareschi, 45, is a fierce monarchist, with a fierce mustache and a fierce tongue. Guareschi edits the brilliant satirical weekly, Candido, which pillories politicians of the center as well as those of the left.

Ambitious, aggressive and a disciplinarian (he says he believes in authority, efficiency, and the Sermon on the Mount), Fanfani after the war, took on a succession of ministries under Premier Alcide de Gasperi. As Minister of Labor, he developed the "Fanfani house" program which so far has produced more than 7,700 government-built workers' homes; he put 200,000 of Italy's many unemployed...
...government as the brilliantly successful keeper of the budget. But Giuseppe Pella had no political organization of his own, no party faction behind him. The party did not choose him to be Premier. It was not even consulted in advance. Pella's old friend and mentor, President Luigi Einaudi, tapped Pella because he merely wanted someone to govern as a caretaker while the Christian Democrats settled among themselves on a more permanent Premier...
