...fistfight between Communist and neo-Fascist Deputies in the Italian Parliament. Despite the warnings of the Communists, the neo-Fascists have no chance of emulating Benito Mussolini's 1922 march on Rome. But they are capable of giving the country a case of the jitters. Premier Emilio Colombo declared last week that "infantile extremism" was endangering Italian democracy...
...half-day general strike, and two weeks ago electrical workers caused a four-hour brownout in Rome. The unions threaten more strikes unless the government rapidly improves housing and schools.

Meskill accused the Democrats of doing nothing to curb drug abuse, which a specially commissioned G.O.P. state poll called the top issue on voters' minds. He capitalized on the $200 million...
...Reggie's rebellion spread and cut off virtually the entire southern fifth of the country, Premier Emilio Colombo ordered troops to cope with a civil disturbance for the first time since 1946. A force of 5,000 uniformed soldiers was moved into the area. For the second time in a tumultuous week, a Western government was compelled to call out its armed forces to face a gathering rebellion...
