...anyone seemed capable of resolving the crisis, it was Fanfani. Four times Prime Minister in the 1950s and early '60s, the Tuscany-born Fanfani was known both as il Padrino (the Godfather) and, because of his ability to bounce back from political adversity, the Tuscan Pony. Despite his antiCommunist, anti-abortion stands, he gained a reputation as a pragmatist, forming the country's first left-of-center coalition with the Socialists in 1962. His ability to compromise was quickly put to use last week to mollify the present-day Socialists under Bettino Craxi...
...bankers, all prominent Catholic laymen, to examine the I.O.R.'s role in the scandal.* Casaroli has pointedly not suggested that Marcinkus did anything illegal. At the same time, however, the Archbishop of Florence, Giovanni Cardinal Benelli, a former Vatican Under Secretary of State, has told the Italian magazine Il Sabato that "if there was any imprudence, it was because of incompetence and inexperience."

...years of his life in a slightly musty, secluded flat in Bologna, the red-brick provincial city whose reluctant cultural ornament he had become. In all his life he stepped out of Italy only to cross the border for a few brief trips into nearby parts of Switzerland. Il Monaco, one critic nicknamed him, the Monk: a big heavy man, gray on gray, shuffling between the dark outmoded tall-boys, painting little groups of bottles and tins, or a vase with one paper rose stuck...
...music of Aram Il'yich Khachaturian (1903-1978) has Armenian and Middle Eastern elements. The second movement has long drones, eloquent turns. It approaches the inspired, improvised style of Arab and Indian performers. The infustion of folk elements won it the Stalin Prize (now called the State Prize) in 1941; but the continued development of Khachaturian's almost brash individuality caused him to be censured, along with Prokofiev and Shostakovich (Khachaturian's teacher...
