...most sought-after politico in Italy today is Pietro Nenni, 64, the yeasty, eloquent leader of Italy's Red Socialists.

Right-wing Christian Democrats under ex-Premier Giuseppe Pella had been instrumental in bringing Scelba down. Segni placated them with an offer of two ministries: Finance and Administrative Reform...
...free-enterprising party which deplores Segni's land-reform program. He asked for and got an extension of 48 hours, at the end of which the Liberals decided it was better to support him "with reservations" than risk some other Premier who might prefer to bid for Nenni's 75 votes...
