...Christian Democrats, it seemed, intend to fight the campaign principally on a theme of two-faced Communist promises. In the past, many Italians voted Communist as a safe but telling protest vote against the Christian Democrats, who have held power-with decreasing effectiveness-alone or in coalition ever since World War II. But this time, with the Communists now obviously strong enough to share power nationally, many of those protest voters are afraid to mark their ballots for the Communists once more, and the Christian Democrats intend to play on this fear...
...life?"like breathing," as he says. Like many Southerners, he finds no contradiction in mixing an earthy appreciation of the good, secular life with the harder demands of Evangelicalism. But while religion has always been an integral part of his makeup, he dates his life as a spiritually reborn Christian only from...
There was apprehension but not much suspense last week as a weary Premier Aldo Moro opened a two-day Chamber of Deputies debate over the economic policy of his minority Christian Democratic government. The debate, leading toward a showdown vote of confidence, was to some extent a preplanned move to end a long-smoldering political crisis by killing off Moro's crippled one-party government.

Saint Acacius, an early Christian warrior-martyr, is shown crucified in Mexican military costume, flanked by a V-shaped row of contemporary soldiers. The gaunt, hacked Christs drip blood by the pint, their rib cages and muscles have a flayed pathos that transcends the crudeness of carving and drawing; and in some pieces, like the articulated figure of the Standing Christ, with rawhide-hinged elbows, the imagery of pain acquires an immense expressive force...
