...wanted to follow Prime Minister James Callaghan's Labor Party campaign for a while, she would trade places with TIME's men on the bus: veteran Correspondents Erik Amfitheatrof, Frank Melville and Arthur White. Amfitheatrof, who covered the 1976 Italian general election as a TIME correspondent in Rome and has reported on the sometimes unruly politics of Africa and the Mediterranean, was delighted to find this campaign unmistakably British. He recalls watching Callaghan at a whistlestop, a cup of tea in his hand, plunging into the crowd and politely imploring them: "Forgive me for having my lunch...
...teams of the far-left Red Brigades have killed a member of the DIGOS police intelligence unit in Milan, "kneecapped" a TV news editor in Turin and similarly wounded a local Christian Democrat official in Genoa. Bombs have demolished a Milan police station and two Rome offices of the neo-Fascist Italian Social Movement. Then there has been the re-emergence of the Autonomisti, a semi-clandestine amalgam of Marxist student organizations...

Also, experts tentatively identified Negri's voice in the tape of a kidnaper's phone call to Moro's wife. Negri has denied any operational connection between Autonomia Operaia and the Red Brigades, and any involvement in the kidnaping...
...those fact-finding junkets that send conscientious Congressmen to the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, the Louvre. Or, in the case of Kansas Senator Robert Dole, en route to a United Nations food conference in Rome, to the village of Castel D'Aiano near Bologna, where he hoisted one or two with some townsmen. Dole's visit was not so much a junket as a sentimental journey. It was at Castel D'Aiano 34 years ago that the Senator, then a young infantry officer, led an attack across the Po River. He was wounded by enemy...
