Trinkets in Triplicate. Before leaving her villa on Lake Garda to join Mussolini on their final journey, La Petacci entrusted the whole agonized portfolio of her stormy love to two friends, Carlo and Caterina Cervis, who shared her villa. The dossier, inventoried in triplicate by the methodical Clara, included most of the "Dear Ben" letters she had written to Benito, plus recordings of her lover's own speeches and copies of his letters, a trunkful of trinkets and keepsakes, and volumes of diaries, including one kept on toilet paper during her imprisonment by the Badoglio government...
Also notable is Cetra-Soria's Aïda (6 sides LP).

When the curtain went down for the last time Caterina Jarboro came to the apron of the Hippodrome's gulf-like stage to answer wildly enthusiastic curtain calls. Her arms filled with bouquets, more piled on the floor around her, she knelt in acknowledgment. Tears welled to her eyes, her voice choked as she thanked two leading stage characters of her race for their tributes, Tenor Paul Robeson and Dancer Bill ("Bojangles") Robinson...
