Giovanni Battista Montini was born in 1897 in the country village of Concesio, near Brescia, in northern Italy. His father, Giorgio Montini, was a newspaper editor and an early champion of the Popular Party (a forerunner of the Christian Democrats) who served three terms in the Chamber of Deputies. Young Giambattista, second of Giorgio's three sons, was so frail and sickly that he had to get much of his education-including some of his seminary training-at home. But he learned quickly: in 1920, not yet 23, he was ordained a priest in Brescia Cathedral. Dispatched to Rome...
Boston's other teams haven't been burning up the turf either. The New England Tea Men took it on the chin (or is it shin?) twice this week: first striker Mike Flanagan lost the league scoring title to New Yorker Giorgio Chinaglia, and then the Fort Lauderdale Strikers struck the team from the playoffs. We're not sure which is sadder, but it still means an end to pro soccer around these parts for quite a few months...
...should finish up atop their little bailiwick in the North American Soccer League, although their chances of survival in the playoffs are cloudy at best. The season will end for the team on Saturday in Memphis, with Teaperson Mike Flanagan making a last stab at surpassing New York Cosmo Giorgio Chinaglia for the league scoring crown (at this writing Flanagan trailed the New Yorker by two goals). The New Englanders will open up the playoffs at Schaefer Stadium on Wednesday, against a first-round patsy to be named later...
...battle with somnambulent Tulsa (on Sunday) and Detroit (on Wednesday). The Detroit tilt will be the next-to-last game of the season for the booters, and a lot should be on the line--a favored spot for the playoffs, Mike Flanigan's chances of edging New York Cosmo Giorgio Chinaglia for the league scoring crown, and lots of pride. But we suspect the Yankee-Red Sox clash on the tube might draw a bit more attention, even with all those commercials...
...Giorgio Laurent!, 33, worked for his Italian family's thriving manufacturing concern in Milan before deciding that his future lay in the U.S. With his German-born wife Iris, Countess zu Dohna-Lauck, 28, he moved to New York in 1974 and started a real estate investment concern that grossed nearly $10 million last year and may double that sum this year. Most of his business is with fellow Europeans. Laurenti's scholarly partner, Roberto Riva, 38, was born in Peru of Italian ancestry, earned his degrees in Italy, owned a prosperous oil trading company in Houston...
