...months later when Vincenzo Angilletta was ambushed outside his home and blasted to death by both barrels of a shotgun. Last November, Domenico Demarie, 41, got the same treatment, but he survived as a sick and frightened man who swears he has no idea who attacked him or why. Fortnight ago, Vincent Muratore, 43, rose before dawn to go to his wholesale produce stall at the market. He got as far as his car when someone fired through the rear window, killing him instantly.

If the Reds would only stay in one place, they could easily be surrounded...
...jumpy island of Cyprus, where Turkish and Greek Cypriots have been savaging each other for the past fortnight, last week showed a faint relaxation of tension. British armored cars, with Union Jacks covering their hoods, patrolled the no man's land between the Greek and Turkish sectors in the capital city of Nicosia. Irregulars of both sides slowly evacuated their rooftop positions to squads of British troops. Everyone held his breath when three Greek monks were slain by Turks. But it was reportedly not a political killing: the Turks were said to have been seeking revenge because...
