...obviously startled Pope Paul, who referred elliptically to the election as "the forthcoming sociopolitical event," and angrily complained at a weekly audience: "Sometimes our dearest friends, our most trusted colleagues, those who share our table, are the very ones who turn against us." With the Pope's concurrence, Bologna's Antonio Cardinal Poma noted in his keynote address last week to a conference of 250 Italian bishops that Catholics who actively campaign for the Communists are cutting themselves off from the faith-a veiled threat of excommunication...

To aid working mothers, Bologna...

In his inaugural speech last week, Novelli called on fellow citizens of all political hues to join him in "a great experiment in urban reconstruction." It will not be an easy chore. In Bologna, growth was orderly and the population remained homogeneous. Turin, on the other hand, was barely able to cope with Italy's postwar economic miracle. As southern migrants rushed to Turin's factory jobs, the city grew by half a million people in the years between...
