...austere, lonely dedication, Kurt Schumacher manipulates a party and directs a force that will last after his own broken body and strong will give out. To the men who know and work for him, he is neither the dangerous rabble-rouser nor neo-nationalist he seems, but a savior of Germany. They excuse his violent speeches. Often, they say, he will descend from a rostrum shaking his head and murmuring, "Well, I believe that I was again somewhat too sharp." His byword, they insist, is not nein, but ja, aber so nicht-which means "yes, but not this way." Schumacher...
Five years ago, the police were arresting the chiefs of the neo-Fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (M.S.I.); last week, in elections involving 40% of Italy's voters, the Fascists and their monarchist cronies made the largest gains of any coalition, captured Naples (Italy's third city), Bari, Foggia, Salerno, twelve out of 31 provincial councils and 21% of the vote-and emerged as the third party in Italy...

Yet De Gasperi, for all his willingness to compromise, would not compromise with...
...Wanted? Because revolutions often become epidemic, some fear that the Batista coup and last week's Bolivian revolt may be followed by explosions elsewhere, possibly in Ecuador or Colombia. But nobody in Latin America, except the Communists and the neo-fascist fringe, professes to want any other kind of government except democracy. In the long run, as hunger and ignorance are dealt with, democracy may yet win in Latin America, though it is likely to be quite different from the U.S. variety...
