...under fire in December because of his (and his wife's) bumbling attempts to solve the Viet Nam crisis. Fanfani forced Moro to resign in January by talking some of Moro's (and his) fellow Christian Democrats into voting down a trivial nursery-school bill in the Chamber of Deputies. Fanfani wanted more than to just get back into the Cabinet. He wanted Moro out.

...storm water chlorination chamber will end this problem, but another threat--flooding--will still exist unless another project is undertaken. But because of the state's financial crisis, no action has been taken in the year since the MDC proposed a pumping station and a new dam near North Station. The existing dam has no pumps and operates on a gravity principle, which means that when tides are unusually high the dam cannot be opened to discharge excess river water for fear of a back-rush of salt water. During a heavy storm, when tides are high and the river...
