Trying to hold on to power at any price, the DC portrayed the left as a united and anti-democratic front, with whom there could be no "historic compromise." Ironically, the result of their attitude seems to have been a hitherto-unseen unity among the PCI and the smaller parties of the left, from the workers movement, Lotta Continua, to the intellectual leftists of the Partito Radicale, and even including the Socialists, the habitual enemies...
...clients, as he puts it, "no poets, or ballet dancers or famous scientists-no Solzhenitsyns, Panovs, or Sakharovs"-i.e., personalities with the kind of repute that might ensure an international outcry and possibly have an effect on the Kremlin.

They call for a restoration of abandoned scholarly discipline, and "particularism"-commitment to perpetuation of specific traditions. They also urge more "pluralism" to give representation in the Big Five to such hitherto missing religious groups as the rising "conservative Evangelicals," who now make up roughly half of U.S. Protestantism...
