...Mariano Rumor named 27 Cabinet members, a postwar record. They will be supported by perhaps as many as 57 under secretaries (up from 40), vying for cars, chauffeurs, parking spaces and all the other perquisites of office. There were reasons for the glut. Rumor was intent on maintaining as broad a base of political support as possible, and his crowded Cabinet represented nearly every faction in his lumpy Center-Left government. Despite the skepticism that greeted the crazy-quilt coalition, however, the formation of a government was no small achievement in itself, in view of recent intraparty strife and rising...
...majority of the Cabinet posts, as expected, went to Rumor's Christian Democratic Party. The C.D.'s 17 Ministers represent every shading in the party's broad spectrum, from the so-called New Force on the far left and the Fanfanani (followers of former Premier Amintore Fanfani) to Rumor's own moderate rightists. The wildly fragmented Socialists picked up a total of nine ministries, including foreign affairs for veteran Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni, 77. The deputy premiership, too, went to a Socialist-Francesco de Martino, who is Nenni's subordinate in the party...
...only real excitement in the meet (with the exception of sporadic announcements of the score of the Harvard-B.C. hockey game) was provided by junior Skip Hare in the broad jump.

In the 35-pound weight throw B.C. has a strong contender in Harry Krause, who has shown the potential to throw the weight 55 feet. In addition, the Eagles have a broad jumper who is able to leap over 22 feet. Coach Stowell also expects the B.C. team to be strong in the 600, the hurdles, dashes, and shot...
...same time, however, the NDC has been building a broad voalition of white middle class suburbanites, academicians, and students from the old McCarthy movement with progressive Negroes (or less militant blacks, if you will), the Chicano (Mexican-American) community in the Southwest, leftish labour members, and Indians from the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's supporters. It is a highly decentralized operation--mostly on a state level, but often on a community level--which in some ways resembles the conservative Republican movement of the carly 1960s...
