...abrupt about-face, CIGA plans to reach for the equally profitable middle-price, room-number trade. In partnership with Alitalia and an Italian holding company, it is getting ready to build a chain of 800-bed modern "Aerhotels." "They will have all the American internal fittings," says Managing Director Giorgio Campione, "including ice water and paper-wrapped glasses." The first two Aerhotels are to be opened in Milan and Rome...
Communist Campaign Strategist Giorgio Amendola, 60, hopes that this leverage can be captured by the left in the coming election by cutting the center-rightist representation below 50%. As Italy's most powerful party, the Christian Democrats cannot be denied a part in any coalition government , formed, no matter what the vote.

...movement-"la Causa'' to its members-has been unexpectedly successful in its attack on the grapes-of-wrath misery to which pickers, mostly migrant workers, have been subjected for generations.

Non-candy operations will soon account for 35% of Hershey sales...
...four different generations of American collectors have mined it without too much duplication. Pioneer Jarves, whose collection was eventually auctioned off to cover his debts and bought by Yale for a bargain $22,000, is represented in the CRIA exhibit by a Sienese wood panel Annunciation, by Francesco di Giorgio and Neroccio dei Landi. The precise taste of turn-of-the-century Railway Heir Henry Walters is illustrated by the three exquisitely patinaed bronzes lent by the Walters Art Gallery, in Baltimore, which he founded. The spirit of J. P. Morgan, whose lavish purchases bulled the art market to unprecedented...
