...Fogg shows 32 pencil drawings by the most delicate and, perhaps, most sensitive of the modern Italian artists, Amedeo Modigliani. This, too, is a fine exhibit, and the Museum is to be especially congratulated for the show's handsome appearance. In one corner, the Fogg devotedly displays the death mask of the artist, wreathed by laurel leaves, and, in another, placed potted ivies. This tasteful presentation complements the subdued, distinctiveness of the works exhibited. It is also a tribute to the knowing connoisseurship of Stefa and Leon Brillouin who have over the years built up this valuable collection...
Cleveland. Italian-born Democrat Anthony J. Celebrezze, 49, campaigned on his good three-term record, turned back Republican Multimillionaire (chemicals) Tom Ireland, 63, by 78,000 votes. Mustached, swarthy, fiercely aggressive, Lawyer Celebrezze came up the hard way (railroad gangs, prizefighting), had to beat both Republican and Democratic candidates when he first ran for mayor in 1953, kept taxes down, pushed urban redevelopment, increased services.

...drive for bigger and better markets is moving even faster in Italy, which got its first look at U.S.-style retailing three years ago when Grand Union set up a Supermercato at an international food congress in Rome. Virtually every major Italian city has at least one supermarket-and plans for more. Two supermarkets are operating in Turin, two more in Bologna, another two in Naples. Rome alone has seven supermarkets. Last week Italy's big La Rinascente department-store chain jumped into the field, bought Rome's big Supermercato S.p.A. for a reported $750,000, and expects...
...ration des Syndicats de l'Epicerie complain that "thousands of small independents have been forced out of business. If the wave continues, another 10,000 will have to close down in the next two years." Germans complain of the "foreign menace" to their livelihood, while Italian shopkeepers lobby insistently to prevent local city governments from granting licenses to the new stores. But the trend is all to the supermarkets. When a big new market opened in Milan recently, the strong Communist element there attacked it as an imperialist plot, until they discovered that workers were swamping the store...
