Paragon's Job. But there was hope. Old Marshal Pietro Badoglio belatedly consulted southern Italy's six anti-Fascist parties, gave them seven of 13 cabinet portfolios in a broadened government. The cleanup of known Fascists, at first very slow, had been speeded up (total ousted to date: 820). The AMG in Italy, largely staffed by British and U.S. businessmen with no nose for Fascists, had been absorbed by the better-run Allied Control Commission under British Lieut. General Mason-Macfarlane. In particular, an Italian-American from New York had brought to bear a great deal of political...
...skipper, an anti-fascist, picks up Bogart and his fellow fugitives in an open boat and they help him, after the line of narration has been broken up by flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks to give us an idea of what nice fellows the convicts were before they were sent to French Guiana.

By no means fond of Umberto but for want of anything better, anti-Fascist leaders were in a mood to accept...
...certain reputation as an antiFascist. He did have trouble with Mussolini, but their fights were due more to delinquency than to politics. When he went to Brussels to claim his bride, an exiled anti-Fascist took a badly aimed shot at him. Ever after he raised his hand in the Fascist salute and, like his father, gave the Duce no trouble. Lately, ordinary Italians have dubbed him lo stupido nazionale and il buffone (clown...
