Fanfani, and leaders of other Italian parties, are really reacting to the neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano, whose call for law-and-order-along with voter disenchantment with other issues-may well double M.S.I.'s small (24-seat) parliamentary bloc in next week's vote...

In the U.S., a first-rate group like the Juilliard has proved that American string players are the equal of any produced out of the classic European mold. Yet, in the minds of many chamber music connoisseurs, another group comes even closer to the elegant perfection of the old Budapest: the Guarneri String Quartet, which made its New York debut...
