Disapproval of the peace award far outweighed praise for it. Norwegians complained that "there is no peace." In Italy, Giorgio La Pira, a prominent left-wing Catholic intellectual, said that the award made sense from a pragmatic point of view. West German Chancellor Willy Brandt, the 1971 peace-prize recipient, sent off congratulatory telegrams to both Kissinger and Tho, but the West German press claimed that the prize had been "degraded," wondering sarcastically if it might go next year to Anwar Sadat and Golda Meir...
...colors none is more suitable to temples than white; by reason that the purity of this color. . . is highly grateful to God." Of course, the preference was not God's but Palladio's.

Today, however, M.S.I, is fighting for its very existence. Its leader, Deputy Giorgio Almirante, may be stripped of parliamentary immunity and brought to trial for the crime of "reconstituting the disbanded Fascist party...

"There are not many good Italian novels, probably because the Italian language has become over-rhetorical." Like Steiner, Kaiser is impressed by the intellectual ferment in France, particularly "the discussions influenced by Claude Levi-Strauss and the structuralists on one side and the Sartre pupils on the other." But except for the novels of Michel Butor and Claude Simon, whom he considers the most talented...
