...General Paul Ely, chief of the joint chiefs, resigned in protest. The nation's 280.000 hardbitten police, who constitute a virtual army in themselves, still seemed loyal to the Fourth Republic. Paris, ringed by its famed "Red belt" of industrial suburbs, was as apt to be dominated by leftist mobs, if it came to that, as by the rightist mobs that rioted in Algiers...

The address, his first clear statement of position since the Feb. 23 election, added up to a moderate, vigorous program-a heartening swing away from the nationalist, leftist line that he used to gain key votes from the supporters of ousted Dictator Juan...

For more than three decades the unquestioned leader of Italian Communism, he built the party into the largest outside the Iron Curtain, formed a leftist front that captured the votes of one of every three Italians. He had spent long years in Moscow, was a big wheel in Stalin's Comintern, won such confidence from the Kremlin that he was allowed to pursue his own "Italian line" of Communism. And he knew them all personally-Stalin, Beria, Molotov, Malenkov, Bulganin, Zhukov...
