...clamor abroad, President Johnson recently appointed a committee headed by his science adviser, former Princeton Chemistry Professor Donald Hornig, to consider what the U.S. might do. That, fumes Basil de Ferranti, managing director of Britain's I.C.T., was merely "a clever public relations gimmick." Italian Foreign Minister Amintore Fanfani proposed a ten-year "Technological Marshall Plan," but he has not yet spelled it out. Short of U.S. companies giving away their trade secrets, it is hard to see how the U.S. could provide much effective help. It could assist in small ways, such as training executives, sponsoring joint research...
...mark the Common Market's tenth anniversary, Italian Foreign Minister Amintore Fanfani suggested last month that a summit meeting of the rulers of the Six be held in Rome in April. Last week, to everyone's surprise, France's Charles de Gaulle, usually scornful of such supranationalism, let it be known that he will go to Rome "if a meeting is held." A top question will be the possible admission of Great Britain. So far, De Gaulle has said no, but now there are hopes that he may relent. If he does, he will have lots...
...Nathalie Volpi di Misurata, Count Volpi's mother. Not very many movie people got invited, of course, but the Maharajah and Maharani of Jaipur were there, and the Begum Aga Khan was there, and Gina Lollobrigida was there, and Princess von Furstenburg, and Sam Newhouse, and Mrs. Amintore Fanfani, and a number of Bourbon-Parmas, Rothschilds, Patiños, Dubonnets, D'Arenbergs, Romanoffs, Colonnas and Borgheses. It was the best film festival any of them could remember...
...latter-day Cesare was Moro's ambitious ex-Foreign Minister, Amintore Fanfani, who left the Cabinet under fire in December because of his (and his wife's) bumbling attempts to solve the Viet Nam crisis. Fanfani forced Moro to resign in January by talking some of Moro's (and his) fellow Christian Democrats into voting down a trivial nursery-school bill in the Chamber of Deputies. Fanfani wanted more than to just get back into the Cabinet. He wanted Moro out. So he persuaded the right wing of the Christian Democrats to insist on the inclusion...
...that he would only be caught dead in an airplane. But he possesses a virtue rare in Italy. He is a born listener. He patiently attended while the feuding faction leaders talked themselves out, then shyly pointed out to Scelba's fans that they were being used as Fanfani's tools. With that, the rightists withdrew Scelba's Cabinet candidacy, settled for two new lesser Cabinet posts. Fanfani was not consulted until everything else was set. Then Moro told a minor Senator to call him and offer him the Foreign Ministry. Sourly, Fanfani accepted...
