Four Prisons in Dibra Street. Shehu, now 37, was graduated from Albania's American Vocational School in 1932. In the Spanish civil war he fought in the Red-led Garibaldi Brigade. He went back to Albania in 1942 to lead the Tito-organized resistance movement along with Hoxha. In 1945 Shehu was shipped to Moscow, returned the next year to become chief of staff of the Albanian army and general secretary of the party. He is Albania's only Moscow-trained Communist leader. Shehu, a 100-proof career Stalinist, has more ability, guile, circumspection and hardheadedness than Hoxha...
...with the blue Mediterranean. The town's life seems as sluggish as the river, but beneath the apparent calm there is a deep, turbulent rift which sometimes whirls up like an assault of wind-whipped breakers.

It was known as the Clock Fight...
Palmiro Togliatti, son of a poor Genoese bookkeeper, who fled from Fascism in 1926; between foreign assignments for the Comintern (which included organizing the Garibaldi Brigade in the Spanish Civil War), he studied revolutionary strategy and wrote polemics in Moscow. He thrice escaped death (he was condemned to death by Mussolini, stabbed in Spain, shot at in 1948 in Rome). Shortly after U.S. troops invaded Southern Italy he flew to Naples, became leader of Italy's 2,283,000 Communists...
...time, George Trevelyan's dream came true. His monumental England Under Queen Anne and his three-volume study of Garibaldi's Italy were definitive works on their periods. His History of England became a standard text on both sides of the Atlantic. Finally, at 73, "too old to write another serious history book," spindly, white-haired George Trevelyan wrote a little history of himself. By last week, from his brief Autobiography and Other Essays, now on British book counters, readers could learn just what makes a renowned historian tick...
