Improbable Beginning. Those have not always been apt adjectives for Italy's Christian Democrats, who have held national power longer than any other Western European party-and with considerable benefit for Italy. Then how to account for the party's steep decline, a slide that poses serious questions not only for the long-term survival of democracy in Italy but for the future of NATO and the European Community as well...

"We want 25% of the action in the Cabinet, the convention and everywhere else." Although blacks account for only 11% of the U.S. population, Carter gave Hatcher a remarkable reply. While refusing to be pinned down on a specific number, he said: "I think that figure [25%] may be a little high, or it may be a little low." He at least left the clear impression that a Carter Administration would...
