Fanfani led his Democratic Initiative faction to a clean sweep of party offices at Naples a month ago, thus made himself De Gasperi's logical successor (TIME, July 12).

Last winter he tried and failed to form a government as Premier. Since then...
...Pope, warning him that there were people around him that might do him harm. Then somehow the carabinièri, who are separate from the police and sometimes their rivals, got wind of Anna Maria's worries.
