Ambassador Tarchiani, 59, was once one of Italy's great journalists: managing editor of Milan's Corriere della Sera. In 1925, at the height of his career, when Mussolini muzzled the press, he went into exile.

ELAS retired to consider surrendering its arms, the Government to persuade absent King George II to agree to a regency. Meanwhile...
