...three weeks, Rumor struggled unsuccessfully to strike a compromise that would satisfy all parties. He failed. Aldo Moro and Amintore Fanfani, two former Premiers and the current contenders to succeed Saragat as President of Italy, also gave it a try. Finally, Saragat persuaded Rumor to try once more, and this time the Cabinetmaker succeeded. It was not that the other parties liked his proposals. It was just that they feared the alternative-a costly general election three years ahead of schedule...
...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. The right-wing magazine Il Borghese published a politically embarrassing interview with Fanfani's old friend Giorgio La Pira, the former mayor of Florence. When La Pira tried to deny some of the remarks...
...majority of the Cabinet posts, as expected, went to Rumor's Christian Democratic Party. The C.D.'s 17 Ministers represent every shading in the party's broad spectrum, from the so-called New Force on the far left and the Fanfanani (followers of former Premier Amintore Fanfani) to Rumor's own moderate rightists. The wildly fragmented Socialists picked up a total of nine ministries, including foreign affairs for veteran Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni, 77. The deputy premiership, too, went to a Socialist-Francesco de Martino, who is Nenni's subordinate in the party...
Fiercely Exasperated. The diplomatic exploration grew in drama and widened in scope. 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...
