The motorcade rolled through the Gate of San Sebastiano, past the Baths of Caracalla and the Colosseum, into the Piazza Venezia, where Mussolini used to strut and harangue.

When none could answer, Student Teacher Philip Lyons whipped a toga out of his briefcase. A tailor's cutter only a few weeks before, Lyons had just run it up on his own sewing machine. Last week, like 100 other middle-aging student teachers, Lyons was well launched in a startlingly successful effort to help beat Britain's shortage of 10,000 teachers. The scheme: Britain's first...
