...miles north of Rome, where the Moros had a country home. On Saturday the government held a televised state funeral in Rome's Cathedral of St. John Lateran to honor the man who had been Italy's Premier five times. While hundreds of Italian leaders, including Communist Party Boss Enrico Berlinguer, and representatives of 100 countries stood in hushed silence, Pope Paul VI devoted a special prayer to his personal friend, Aldo Moro. The Pontiff asked "that our heart may be able to forgive the unjust and moral outrage inflicted on this dearest...
...could be used to cloak disagreement. One of his most famous was "parallel convergences," which he used to describe the center-left formula for the 1963 D.C.-Socialist coalition-even while laughingly noting that "geometrically this is impossible, but politically it is feasible." After the 1976 election, when the Communist Party vote spurted to 34% of the total-close behind the Christian Democrats' 39% -Moro promoted the gradual process of accommodation between the two.

But China's tough-talking reaction to last week's incident indicated that Peking-Moscow relations remain very chilly at best. That probably portends a warm welcome in Peking for U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was due in Peking late this week for a three-day get-acquainted visit; after all, he is the Carter Administration's leading advocate...
...leaders most is their reluctant conclusion that the U.S. has not been taking a hard enough line toward the U.S.S.R. State Department Sinologists believe that Peking regards Washington as having been weak in responding to Soviet gains in Africa; the Chinese surely see events in Afghanistan, where a closet Communist regime seized power last month, as another Soviet success.
