...true" Communists. Renewed outbreaks of terrorist violence are unlikely to help Berlinguer at the polls. Last week, for example, Milan's deputy public prosecutor, Emilio Alessandrini, was assassinated by a group linked to the Red Brigades.

Occasionally a heretic has arisen to challenge such Christmas-mongering, as when Chico Marx courageously asserted in A Night at the Opera, "You no can fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause." But alas, such prophets have not been honored in their own country, and it is a sure...
