...checked the mail facilities at Rome's Fiumicino Airport, one of the more glacial arms of Italy's infamous postal service. The inspector found only four of the office's 49 workers on the job. As it happened, his report landed on the desk of Luciano Infelisi, a crusading magistrate, who was appalled by the absenteeism.

Last week two masked men broke into Infelisi's apartment and told a maid: "It was the little girl we were after." Luckily, Infelisi and his wife had taken their infant daughter for a walk. But at last the government is tightening its laws against bugging. According to a draft put before the Cabinet last week, sentences will be increased drastically -from as little as 15 days in jail at present to three...
