...Italian males in Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. From these disparate parts emerged the full image of Mastroianni: a sensual, reasonable man, agreeably passive, remarkably resilient, lost and vulnerable behind the mask of bravado.

...secret shipments, Toshiba Machine disguised eight sophisticated milling machines as simple hole-boring devices and rechristened them with misleading jargon (in one case, from a model MBP 110 to a TDP 70/110) to fool MITI inspectors.
