He showered Moro with gifts-including a 19th century Sheraton gilt mirror, a pen stand with two gold pens, a matching Accutron desk clock, a photograph of Italy taken from U.S. satellite Tiros IX, a stained-glass cross, a blue nylon sleeping bag for a Moro daughter, and a Texas cowboy costume for Moro...
