...Rome, a fleet of 200 sound trucks blared the strident propaganda of the neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (M.S.I.), and in the air relays of planes zoomed over rooftops, trailing the names of M.S.I, candidates. The heirs of Mussolini reportedly spent more than $3,000,000 during the four-week campaign, but when the votes were counted it was clear that the Missini (the nickname derived from the party initials) had misspent their lire. The Fascist share of the total vote rose slightly from 9.7% in 1960 to 10%; a mere 19,000 new M.S.I, voters (new total...

"We're going to the White House," announced the Attorney General. Wondered his Washington-wise wife: "To get debriefed...
Bobby Kennedy, accompanied by his wife Ethel, was on the first leg of a four-week world tour that would take him to eleven other countries. And during his five-day stay in Japan, he displayed all the qualities that have made him, beyond the big fact of being John Kennedy's brother, a major power in U.S. Government. His youthful energies were explosive; his capacity for listening, looking, learning was enormous; his charm (when he felt like turning it on) was electric...
