...Plunging wholeheartedly into the timeless rituals of Lombard courtship, Francesco promenaded beneath her window, cultivated her friends and relatives, encountered her "by chance" when she went strolling. Angela played her part by being good, like a signorina should. When they met, she would say politely, "Buon-giorno, Signor Ghizzoni" and coolly ignore his urgings to "call me Francesco." He asked for a date, and Angela refused. He sent her gifts. Angela returned them...
...senatorial look into his budget last week, Mattei was still cock of the walk, but minus a few tail feathers. Critics have often suggested a concealed ownership of the heavily subsidized Milan daily // Giorno (circ. 150,000), which has consistently backed Mattei's causes and opposed his detractors, followed a left-of-center line, and often been hostile to actions of Premier Antonio Segni's regime.

(Il Giorno Editorialist Gaetano Baldacci charged that Galeazzi-Lisi, employing an "aromatic spirits" technique which he claimed had been used on the body of Christ, wretchedly botched the job.) Two Italian dailies, Rome's Il Tempo and Turin's La Stampa, bought Galeazzi-Lisi's second entree for a joint...
...that he had received "un soldo" for his pains, then resigned his post. The College of Cardinals banned him from the Vatican. As the storm of censure mounted, the greatest cry was appropriately against the money-hungry doctor rather than the story-hungry press. Milan's daily Il Giorno (circ. 150,000), coming to the astonished realization that the Pope's chief physician was not a tried clinician, asked what was, perhaps, the most startling question raised by the whole furor: "How could Pius XII entrust his health for so many years to a quack...
