A onetime resistance hero named Edgardo Sogno began it with his Pace e Libertá campaign (TIME, Nov. 1). Last week Rome's influential II Tempo took up the history of bald and boisterous Vincenzo Moscatelli, a Communist Deputy and member of the party's Central Committee.

A dull student in Oklahoma City schools, he was dropped from Annapolis as a disciplinary problem, got back in only to graduate at the "wooden end of the line."

When he came bouncing onto the dike-enclosed farming island on a motorcycle, to replace the old doctor who had died, the poor peasants refused to take him seriously. Short, bald, muscular and hairy-chested, he looked like a good-natured, grinning ape. Unlike his dapper predecessor, he wore the wooden shoes and coarse clothing of his patients. He cursed, he got into fist fights, and he loved his gin. When he showed up to deliver a baby on his first case, he even...
