...evidence to the contrary, British authorities ruled Calvi's death a suicide. But some Italians saw sinister significance in the fact that he was dangling from Blackfriars Bridge: members of P2 dress in black and address each other as "friar." Both Sindona and Calvi's son Carlo, 30, believe that the banker was killed. So does Franco de Cataldo, a member of an Italian parliamentary commission investigating P2, who declared last week on the floor of the Chamber of Deputies: "It appears ever more probable that Calvi was murdered...

Beirut, a bright, amiable amalgam of beach resort and international bank and world-class shopping mall and neon whorehouse, was invariably called the Paris of the Middle East. It may have been more like Monte Carlo, crossed with Miami Beach and Zurich. The Lebanese were cultured and vividly commercial. They stood precisely at the intersection of Western and Middle Eastern culture, and took a handsome profit by mediating between the two.
