...been 17 years now since NBC coaxed Toscanini back to the U.S. from Milan and assembled a symphony orchestra for him. This spring, as usual, the Maestro is expected to go to Italy for a long vacation. This spring, more acutely than ever, NBC foresees the day when the Maestro will choose to stay in Italy. Although full details have not been arranged, Conductor Munch and his Boston Symphony are the planned replacements for Toscanini and the NBC Symphony when the Maestro decides to retire for good...
Anna Maria Caglio is an aristocrat, the kind of girl whom Via Véneto doormen automatically salute. Daughter of a well-to-do Milan attorney, she was educated in prim Swiss schools, went to Rome when she was 20, hoping to break into the theater or the movies. She had little success, but she became a part of the highest-living, fastest-traveling Roman set. The most dashing of them all was the Marchese Ugo Montagna.

First Suspicion. In a cool, well-modulated voice, she explained that two days before Wilma's death, Ugo ordered her to go back to Milan.

Its central Rome edition is connected by its own wire to offices in Milan, Turin and Genoa, where separate editions are put out. Its staff of eight editors, 115 reporters and rewritemen and eight foreign correspondents is supplemented by 2,875 party members, who act as part-time volunteer correspondents, in almost every town in Italy. L'Unità prints 27 subeditions with local news for every region where...
...Amerigo Terenzi, 45, chief executive officer, promotion and business manager, whose office is filled with the same circulation pie charts and graphs that adorn the walls of any other publisher. Present devotion to the party rather than past political history is a first requisite for a job, e.g., Milan Editor Davide Lajolo was a topflight Fascist newsman who fought on the side of Mussolini's Blackshirts in Spain before returning to Communism. The staff is paid well below the minimum for Italy's non-Communist newsmen, although L'Unità led the campaign for the minimum newspaper...
