...shop for Democrats for Nixon; he has been joined by L.B.J.'s former press secretary George Christian as well as former U.S. Information Agency Director Leonard Marks and Commerce Secretaries John Connor and C.R. Smith. Other Democrats who have defected: Frank Fitzsimmons, president of the Teamsters Union; Judge Mario Procaccino; former California Congressman James Roosevelt; Frank Sinatra; Sammy Davis Jr.; Mickey Mantle. The Republicans like to point out that there are no organized "Republicans for McGovern," though McGovern has promised that such a group is forthcoming...
...years past, stars like Shirley MacLaine and Mario Thomas would have been coveted decorations at a Mesta-style reception. This year Delegate MacLaine was enmeshed in party reform, and Mario Thomas, Patty Duke and other celebrities worked the long nights at the convention hall. Two McGovern workers, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, stayed mostly out of sight at McGovern headquarters. The big-party syndrome seemed gone for the most part, a vestige of another kind of politics. Noted Eleanor McGovern's press secretary, Mary Hoyt: "I looked for invitations and you know, there weren't any. If there were, what...
...times the responsibilities of caring for the cities and their art get lost in a farcical tangle of bureaucratic procedure. A $400 million emergency fund for the restoration of Venice, raised abroad by Minister of Public Works Mario Ferrari Aggradi, lies unused while dozens of local and national agencies squabble over their slices of it.

...this parade of exquisitely designed objects, from lamps to ashtrays to such inviting modular sofas as Mario Bellini's "Chameleon" cushion system (see color page), it is apparent that the functionalist concerns of the Bauhaus are receding. Some emphasis has shifted to furniture as dream or fetish or ikon. Thus Gae Aulenti designs a variable bookcase/shelf/sleeping-platform unit that, glittering in vermilion fiber glass, resembles a Mayan sacrificial altar; while Sottsass's red ceramic vase has the archaic look of a ziggurat...
...most powerful party for a quarter-century, remain exactly that. At one point, the party had been expected to lose anywhere from 10 to 30 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, largely because of the vociferous law-and-order campaign put forward by the M.S.I. But Interior Minister Mario Rumor, a former Christian Democratic Premier, mounted a shrewd law-and-order campaign of his own, with some well-publicized roundups of political troublemakers and seizures of gun, bomb and ammunition caches. Another former Premier, Amintore Fanfani, barnstormed across Italy plugging his party's less-than-catchy slogan "Forward...
