...more immediate cause of Christian Democratic worries was the defection from the coalition of another party -the slightly left-of-center Republicans, who withdrew last month to protest inflationary government spending. When the Republicans pulled out, Premier Emilio Colombo resigned from office, and Italy since then has been without effective government. President Giovanni Leone asked Colombo to try to form a new one. When he finally admitted failure, Leone turned to yet another Christian Democrat, Giulio Andreotti, the party's floor leader in the Chamber of Deputies...
Last week the 17-month-old government of Premier Emilio Colombo toppled in another such crisis-one, moreover, that raised the question of how much longer the center-left coalition formula could survive at a time when a deep recession is exacerbating all of Italy's social ills. The crisis was provoked by the tiny but influential Republican Party, which withdrew its support to protest what it viewed as irresponsible and inflationary government spending. Unwilling or unable to change course to meet the Republicans' demands, the other parties in the coalition-the Socialists, Social Democrats and Christian Democrats...
Farcical Way. The Christian Democrats' most plausible alternative was Foreign Minister Aldo Moro, who had the support of Premier Emilio Colombo-a centrist Christian Democrat -some rightists and two of the strongest left-wing factions.

But he was wholly unacceptable to other Christian Democratic factions, most notably the followers of Fanfani. Instead, the party settled on another former Premier: Leone. There was a measure of justice in the choice: Leone had lost...
...something like a global diplomatic stampede. Governments in Latin America, Asia and even Africa began sounding out their chances of making the list. Canada's Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau demanded an invitation by telex -and got the White House O.K. within an hour. Italy's Premier Emilio Colombo also got Nixon's nod. Portugal's Premier Marcello Caetano made the list only because the Azores is Portuguese territory. When Brazil's President Emilio Garrastazu Medici arrived in Washington last week, he found his long-scheduled courtesy call upgraded to two hour-long sessions with...
Running 200 miles south of the Amazon River, and almost parallel to it, the Transamazonian Highway project is already being billed by President Emilio G. Medici's military regime as the work of the century. Not since the feverish 1950s, when former President Juscelino Kubitschek built the city of Brasilia and had the 1,350-mile Belem-Brasilia highway carved out of the jungle, have Brazilians responded with such a display of national pride to the challenge of conquering their last natural frontier...
