In the Senate, where a debate on a bill to legalize abortion had just ended, Senators milled around in the corridors asking for the latest news. The President of the Senate, Amintore Fanfani...
...National Security Council rejected a proposal by Socialist Leader Bettino Craxi to grant amnesty to some minor terrorist prisoners as a concession to Moro's captors. The terrorists' rambling, two-page communiqué argued that by rejecting the exchange of 13 of their colleagues in prison, the Christian Democrats had left them with no alternative but to carry out their death sentence on Moro...
