...behalf of Moro's kidnapers. But there was some hope that a ransom deal that did not involve the Christian Democratic Party or the government might be worked out privately. Such a move would have a precedent. When the son of former Socialist Party Leader Francesco de Martino was kidnaped in Naples last year, his release was secured with a reported ransom of $880,000, raised by wealthy party backers and a subscription among the membership. The main difference is that the De Martino kidnaping turned out to be the work of common criminals, while the Red Brigades have...

President Leone last week asked Moro's Cabinet to remain temporarily in office in caretaker status. This week, he will begin the ritual consultations with various party politicians in an effort to form a new government.
