...March a wayfarer saw a flock of great, vulture-like birds tearing and gulping the carrion. They were bald eagles, of which only an occasional pair had hitherto been seen in the neighbor hood.

Behind it trail a flock of "semiofficial" newspapers, potent among which is conservative La Stampa, published in Turin by the man who builds four of every five automobiles in Italy, Senator Giovanni Agnelli. Proud old Senator Agnelli takes his journalism as seriously as he takes his Fiat automobiles...
