...price the 264 Christian Democrats had to pay to win the few (38) but crucial Parliament votes of three splinter parties of the democratic center. Most essential to Scelba's success, and therefore the hardest bargainer, was Giuseppe Saragat, the wavery leader of the Social Democrats. When Pietro Nenni sold out Italian Socialism to the Communists in 1947, Saragat founded a rump party of anti-Communist Socialists. Though his party's strength was cut in half at last summer's elections, Saragat was now in the position of being able to make or break Premiers...
Doomed Christian. The Communists (143 votes), Pietro Nenni's pro-Red Socialists (75), and the neo-Fascists (29) had already decided to oppose Amintore Fanfani. The Monarchists shook their heads at Fanfani's leftward bent. "He has put too much meat on the fire," said...

Employing the almost forgotten wile of courtesy, he has so far won the support of the Monarchists and toned down enemies like Togliatti and Nenni. He still treats each lira as if it were the last of the species: he never uses the Premier's special railroad car, has dismissed his police-escort car, recently borrowed a tiny Fiat for a vacation trip instead of using his gas-greedy Alfa Romeo.
