...Italian radio stations immediately broadcast Fascism's pride to the whole world. For 35 minutes stout young Bruno enjoyed being a world hero. Then suddenly a radio station of Italy's new "bosom friend" Germany made an announcement.

Some 20 years ago a German chemist named Todtenhaupt made a weak wool-like cloth from casein. In 1935 an Italian, Commendatore Antonio Ferretti, improved the process, which was promptly commandeered by Mussolini as one way of combatting sanctions. Snia Viscosa is now turning out almost 10,000,000 pounds of lanital a year. Having practically the same chemical composition as wool, it is made by mixing acid with skim milk. This extracts the casein...
