...White House this week for the latest meet-the-President colloquy comes short (5 ft. 3 in.), sharp-witted Italian Premier Amintore Fanfani, 53. Sturdily pro-U.S. and pro-NATO, Fanfani brings no pressing problems and no requests...

The protagonist of his new novel is a rich and solitary Pennsylvania landowner who, past 50, marries an 18-year-old girl and eventually murders her. Why did he do it?
