"They want to compromise before compromise is warranted. They never want to play hard ball."

THERE IS A GOOD deal of fear and loathing in Rome these days. The recent assassination of Aldo Moro only exacerbated a steadily deteriorating social climate in a country where Machiavellian political intrigue has historically been par for the course. The average Italian does not know where to turn today for salvation. The lack of trust among various factions and the unwillingness to compromise which have characterized Italian national affairs since 1945 have continually thwarted efforts to form a new political coalition which would embrace more liberal elements and might bring about a greater degree of social cohesion.
