Shortly after 10 o'clock one morning last week, a frail man in a light grey suit stepped out of a Soviet-built IL-14 transport onto the tarmac of Belgrade's Zemun Airport. Dutifully, the visitor surrendered himself to a welcoming bearhug from his stocky, sun-bronzed host, accepted bouquets from four dewy-eyed young Pioneers, and acknowledged the salute of a snappy, blue-uniformed honor guard. Then Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka and Yugoslavia's Marshal Josip Broz Tito headed off across the Yugoslav capital in a motorcade whose first three cars were a Rolls...
Spotting a dandy opportunity to reacquaint Roman readers with an old friend and get in a gratuitous whack at the U.S. at the same time, Italy's conservative Il Tempo paid a call on top-ranking poet and philosophical Wild Man Ezra Pound at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington. Groused Pound, who is confined to St. Elizabeths' grounds on a much-argued diagnosis of legal insanity, faces trial on 19 counts of treason (he broadcast eccentric, violently pro-Axis speeches from Italy during World War II) if he gets out.

I have six shots ready, one for you and five for me, unless you come." She came, lived out of wedlock with him (they were married some...
...less than 24 hours after the Chamber vote, parliamentary tellers announced that they had carelessly counted as abstainers two Deputies who had actually voted against Zoli. If he continued to spurn Fascist support, anti-Fascist Adone Zoli appeared to be one vote short of a majority.
