...personality cult around the man who could conceivably become Western Europe's first postwar Communist Premier. In fact, though, such a cult is growing as Berlinguer drives up and down Italy in a chauffeured Fiat, making major campaign appearances. Berlinguer himself is a shoo-in for the Chamber of Deputies; taking advantage of a curious election law, he is a candidate in three places: Rome, Venice and the mountain town of Avezzano in Abruzzi. Should he win all three, he would choose one -probably Rome-and pass on the remaining two to other Communists. Berlinguer, who becomes a magnetic...
...grano, bonifica, restauri, grain, swampdrainage, restorations, new buildings..." But clearly he was as much as anything else, carried away by his own rhetoric. In the same tome he called Mussolini an "OPPORTUNIST who is RIGHT," an "AWARE INTELLIGENCE," who was introducing "a new LANGUAGE in the debates in the chamber."

Southwestern trains its students only in reputable, honest sales practices, for it could not maintain its good standing as a charter member of both the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau unless it did. The fact is that Southwestern is now in its 108th year of continuous operation, and has worked with over 100,000 college students since the depression. It is inevitable that out of such a large number of people some would...
...headed east of Rome in his chauffeur-driven, nut-colored Fiat-132 sedan. His destination: the mountain town of Avezzano in the Abruzzi region, a strong Christian Democrat preserve and one of the three constituencies,* along with Rome and Venice, where Berlinguer is the top Communist candidate for the Chamber of Deputies...
