The atmosphere plainly was more suspicious than auspicious for the new Italian government. After months of dickering, while the nation marked time under a caretaker Cabinet, the Christian Democrats finally were ready to conclude their marriage of convenience-or perhaps inconvenience-with Nenni's left-wing Socialists.
