...weeks the third-floor apartment at Via Pallanza 6, in an outlying working-class district of Milan, had been staked out by police of Italy's special antiterrorist squad. Visitors to the apartment were photographed as they entered the building and tailed as they left. Finally, the authorities were ready to strike. In a coordinated two-day sweep directed by Carlo Alberto Delia Chiesa, 58, a much-decorated carabinieri general, police arrested nine key members of the terrorist Red Brigades organization, broke into four of their hideouts and confiscated numerous arms and a wealth of material on terrorist activities...

...have available a Curial man who also has far more pastoral background than Benelli ?Sergio Cardinal Pignedoli, 68, the affable, gregarious president of the Secretariat for Non-Christians. In between rungs on his Curial career, Pignedoli served as a World War II chaplain (submarines) and auxiliary bishop of Milan (under Archbishop Montini). Young people love him and thousands write him letters about their problems. In the last election he ran close to Siri and Luciani on the first ballot.
