...fight is not quite over. The bill will probably be passed by the Senate, despite the bitter opposition of Senate President (and former Premier) Amintore Fanfani. Even then, the anti-divorce forces have one last stratagem. They will press for a referendum next year to give the Italian people a chance to repeal the law. Said L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily: "Divorce may have a parliamentary majority, but it is not approved by a majority of Italians." That remains to be seen. At any rate, if the bill is enacted and remains in effect even for only...
...What an Italian politician must guard against is making a brutta figura -roughly, a fool of himself. The late Communist Party boss, Palmiro Togliatti, left his wife to live with a woman 27 years younger than he; yet his standing in politics was unaffected. By contrast, Foreign Minister Amintore Fanfani was forced to resign from office in 1965 simply because his wife made a mistake.

Washington employed a still-anonymous foreign intermediary to sound out officials in Hanoi last month, meanwhile suspending bombing in the Hanoi-Haiphong region. Italy's Foreign Minister Amintore Fanfani met with North Vietnamese envoys in Rome, sent Washington a lengthy report of Hanoi's views. U.N. Secretary-General U Thant jetted to New Delhi, Moscow, London and Paris, arriving back in Manhattan last week. Hanoi made an other gesture-plainly calculated, no matter how welcome-by releasing three captured U.S. flyers...
Only John A. P. Good, who joined the Committee in January and has been under frequent fire from Duehay for "cronyism," is in danger of being unseated. Good now stands in sixth place, with 2355 votes, about 300 more than his closest rival, George J. Fanfani...
