Designer Emilio Pucci, who is as earnest about politics as he is about fashion, lost his Liberal seat in the Chamber of Deputies in spite of a campaign in which he averaged four speeches a day. Communist Novelist-Painter Carlo Levi (Christ Stopped at Eboli) was dropped from the Senate. On the other hand, Franco Maria Malfatti, a former president of the Common Market Commission, was easily re-elected a Christian Democratic Deputy. Admiral Gino Birindelli, until recently commander of NATO's Mediterranean naval forces and now the darling of Italy's right, also won a seat...
...Christian Democrats, Italy's most powerful party for a quarter-century, remain exactly that. At one point, the party had been expected to lose anywhere from 10 to 30 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, largely because of the vociferous law-and-order campaign put forward by the M.S.I.

...latest environments, Paris remains a poet of ritual and mortality: he has even been known to bury an invisible sculpture sealed in a black coffin as part of a happening, and one large environmental piece at Berkeley, Pantomima Illuma (1966), is a kind of tomb, a black chamber with soft walls and eerie pencils of light on ambiguous, fleshy bits of sculpture. Paris' work is that of a rich and disordered temperament, which manages to be both heavily serious and slightly glib...
...Chamber of Commerce opposes the new federal law on grounds that reporting requirements are burdensome for small businesses which have few safety hazards. Chamber spokesmen also argue that the standards covered in the law's 248 finely printed pages could cause "economic holocaust" by forcing companies to scrap costly machines and dies...
