That shooting in downtown Rome, carried out by a member of the dreaded Red Brigades, was one of three brazen assassinations of Italian judicial officials last week. Terrorists also gunned down noted Jurist Guido Galli in a corridor of Milan University and killed State Prosecutor Nicola Giacumbi as he walked home with his wife in Salerno. The resurgence of terrorist violence (18 victims this year) has heightened national tensions to a more alarmed level than at any other time since the kidnap-murder of Politician Aldo Moro nearly two years ago. Last week public morale received a further blow when...
Zimmerer will drive both sleds again. He will have two weight men for ballast in the four, and brakemen under oath not to slow him down. The principal challenge could come from the Swiss, East Germans or the impetuous Italians. Says Italian Team Director Giorgio Galli: "We often have to keep some of our boys in the hospital longer than we should to make sure they don't get back into a sled prematurely." Not even warm weather deters them. In the summer the Italians replace their runners with wheels and career madly down mountain slopes and roads...
...Laments. The astonishing thing about all the hoopla is that Sills has been singing virtually in the Met's shadow all her life. As a seven-year-old named Belle Silverman in Brooklyn, she learned to imitate all her mother's records of the legendary diva Amelita Galli-Curci, and by nine she was singing arias like Caro nome and The Bell Song in a Manhattan radio studio on the Major Bowes Capitol Family Hour...

On Wednesdays, Amelia Garavaglia, 76, flours her plump, competent hands in the back room of Gioia's Corner Market and begins rolling out 5,000 ravioli for sale hi the front room. Each evening, Ida Galli switches on the spotlight hi her front yard-not to scare away burglars, but to illuminate a 3-ft.-high statue of the Blessed Virgin. It is all part of the pleasant, unhurried flavor of life today on the Hill...
...over in the 1930s. Grange was a 165-lb. scatback, who never ran over anybody at all. Like Brown, he was accused of being a shirker at blocking: "All Grange can do is run," was the classic comment-to which Bob Zuppke, his coach at Illinois, retorted: "All Galli-Curci can do is sing." Van Buren, "the Flying Dutchman," of Coach Greasy Neale's 1948-49 world championship Philadelphia Eagles, was the first great modern pro running back; a bruising 200-pounder, he could run the 100-yd. dash in 9.8 sec.-and set a career ground-gaining record...
