Pagan Frieze. It is the story of Lampe-dusa's own great-grandfather, Giulio, set at the time of Garibaldi's landing in Sicily (1860), and the plot of The Leopard is as bare as a sun-seared Sicilian hillside. The hero-known in the novel as Don Fabrizio, prince of the House of Salina-simply lives out the death of his class, the feudal landed gentry. The only action is inaction. But to mistake the story for the subject is to assume that a pearl is about grit. Amateur Novelist Lampedusa's real interest and achievement...

...road pattern. To his only ally in the coalition government, Giuseppe Saragat's anti-Communist Socialists, Fanfani gave four crucial posts in social experiment-the Ministries of Finance, Labor, State Participation and Communications. For the first time since the war, a trade unionist was included in the Cabinet: Giulio Pastore, the head of the anti-Communist labor federation, CISL, became Minister for Economic Development of Southern Italy and Depressed Areas. Fanfani dropped Giuseppe Pella, a leader of the Christian Democrats' right wing, as Foreign Minister and took the post himself...
