...biggest gains were scored by the Liberals, a small party (membership: 190,000) with a right-of-center, free-enterprising program which had opposed the apertura a sinistra. The Liberals' strong showing suggested a distrust of the left, a belief that free-enterprise capitalism can do most for Italy's new and growing middle class. Despite this slight pull to the right, Premier Fanfanrs alliance had weathered its first test at the polls. His Christian Democrats' vote dipped a bit, but their coalition partners did well. As Red Boss Palmiro Togliatti complained, the elections reflected an unmistakable...
...Western Europe by closer economic integration. It has been tried before. There has been some success in sharing manufacturing tasks (e.g., Poland to specialize in coal-mining and transport equipment; Czechoslovakia in heavy electrical equipment). But most other COMECON integration attempts have failed because the satellites have learned to distrust each other's-and Moscow's-promises.

What shapes the boundaries of the idyl is a distrust of all the official frauds and postures that keep the real world together, all the speeches and slogans and generals and college songs and national anthems and figures like the Minute Man and Senators. The termite walking along with Pogo states Okefenokee's view of matters pithily--"It'll be a long time afore they...
This was the speech that revealed Castro's distrust of the U.S. and his view that the transform of social conditions could be effected only by force, on the Comunist pattern. But Figueres, for his concern with Cuba's future and his willingness to hear Castro, got a grateful reception from the Cuban people. Though their views already diverged, Castro's trust dissolved slowly, and Figueres still appeared on Cuban television the following two nights...
