...overthrow the De Gaulle regime by a combination of legal and illegal activities. In hiding with Bidault is ex-Colonel Antoine Argoud, who opposed S.A.O. terrorism in Algeria only because "the fate of the nation will be decided in Paris." Conspirator Soustelle was arrested two weeks ago in Milan, and tossed out of Italy as politically "undesirable." Then he vanished, probably to take refuge in Spain, where S.A.O. Treasurer Dr. Jean-Claude Perez controls an estimated $2,000,000 stolen from Algeria, and where S.A.O. diehards such as ex-Paratroop Colonel Pierre Chateau-Jobert are training additional suicide squads...
...stadium, pumping away together at 21 different tunes. In the enormous (3,500-seat) tent erected for the occasion, the bands played weekends-from early afternoon until early the next morning. Among those present: 40 emotional Italians of the Corpo Musicale del Dopolavoro Fer-roviario of Milan who nearly blasted the $40,000 tent to pieces with Cam Amati, a musical description of attacking Italian tanks in World War II; three bands of sardine fishermen and rice workers from Portugal, who traveled almost two weeks by bus in order to perform for two days at Kerkrade; the band...
...Italy, the government's recent nationalization of the electric power industry and passage of a 15% withholding tax on dividends has kept the Milan Borsa from rallying with Wall Street.

In France, the worry was whether the government would...
...Notte is, as they say, an Antonioni. Which means that Michelangelo Antonioni wrote and directed it. What makes La Notte better than other movies is hard to say. First of all, it has a continuity through narrative, unifying it from the opening shots of modern Milan to the closing embrace in a sand trap. At points, such as when one hears, then sees a helicopter whoosh past the hospital, it parodies La Dolce Vita, a film lacking tightness and cohesiveness, though also attempting to portray the senselessness of modern Italy. The essential difference in approach between Fellini and Antonioni...
...beer that may some day make Milan famous is quite unlike the usual watery Italian brew. On the autostrada running west out of Milan, the first German brewery to be built in Italy is now under construction. When it goes into production next spring, the Prinzen Brau brewery will produce 1,350,000 gallons of heady, German-style beer a year. The man behind Prinzen Bräu: West Germany's Rudolph-August Oetker, 46, a publicity-shunning tycoon who has built an inherited baking powder business into a 100-company complex with interests ranging from shipping to insurance...
