...rest of Southeast Asia will go too) by slashing at each other's throats in border war instead of pursuing a common ideological expansion. The Shah of Iran's 37-year reign was shaken by week upon week of riots. In Italy, the Red Brigades kidnaped former Premier Aldo Moro, held him for 54 days, then shot him dead and left his body in the back of a car on a Rome street. In the Soviet Union, human rights campaigners Anatoli Shcharansky, Yuri Orlov and Alexander Ginzburg went into the Gulag...
This fierce football domain is Bear Bryant's briar patch. He was born and raised in it, coming out of Moro Bottom, Ark., with one good pair of shoes to play for the University of Alabama in the mid-'30s.

Fabrizio Cicchitto, a Socialist Deputy, claims Andreotti displays "a willful absence of long-range vision...
...were Nadia Mantovani, 26, a friend of imprisoned Red Brigades Founder Renato Curcio, and Lauro Azzolini, 35, who had been sought in connection with the murder of the president of the Turin bar association last year. There were unconfirmed rumors that Mario Moretti, 36, the top suspect in the Moro assassination, was also in police custody. To speed proceedings, all nine will stand summary trial within two weeks on charges of possessing arms and explosives-a protective measure to ensure that the defendants are not released while authorities ponder more serious charges against them...
