After "spittoon" came epithets so violent, similes so obscene, that presently the French government-no committee of prudes-banned the sale in France of L'Impero and its foul-tongued sister sheet // Tevere. Unfortunately the episode did not end there. Stung by the knowledge that despised and hated Austrians are now the "champions of champions," almost the whole Italian press spent the week in working itself up to a purple pitch of fury-even demanding that...
