...last week the Dictator joined Count & Countess Ciano at the Adriatic sea resort of Riccione. On the beach Bambino Fabbrizio patted with his pink palms Grandpa Mussolini's suntanned pate. Later they drove to Il Duce's estate near Predappio where he was born, for a celebration in which only neighboring villagers took part. A few old friends brought simple presents. Italian editors knew better than to mention what Benito Mussolini would like to conceal, that this was his 50th birthday...
...Monitor in format is the papal paper except that it carries no advertisements or cooking recipes, displays the triple tiara of the Pope and his crossed keys to Earth and Heaven.

Last week. Bambino Romano, not yet turned 18 months, was completely forgotten as Milan tea table gossips buzzed. The secret was not that Donna Rachele Mussolini is burgeoning again, though as a matter of fact she is. The terrific and appalling piece of gossip was that Donna Rachele recently said to a most intimate-and seemingly most faithless-friend: "I am still a Socialist at heart. I could not turn Fascist with Nito...
