...Neo-Nazis. Since 1949, a million ex-Nazis have been re-enfranchised. A dozen pennywhistle Fuhrers are after their votes, but most of their votes will probably go to the extreme right wing of Konrad Adenauer's coalition. Some queer fish have swum into the Free Democratic Party and the German Party, seeking respectability. Until recently they had nowhere else...
...Rome's hottest day of the summer, and a dismal day for Premier Alcide de Gasperi. The Monarchists and neo-Fascists stuck stonily to their decision to throw all their votes against him. His long-time allies of the center, the Liberals, Social Democrats and Republicans, would not give him even one of their 38 votes. The Red Socialists of Pietro Nenni and their friends the Communists sat in the Chamber of Deputies behind smug smiles of triumph. "Italy." said owlish Communist Boss Palmiro Togliatti placidly, "will certainly and inevitably pass through the Communist experience...
...Reds out of his coalition. "We talked man to man." said De Gasperi later, but Togliatti kept "avoiding clarity." Achille Lauro, leader of the Monarchists (40 seats), was equally vague.

And the two plays, presented by a first-rate cast (stars: Alec Guinness. Irene Worth), are as surprising as the event itself. For the real hit is not the famous, battle-tested King Richard...
Madeleine is Rickie's wife. She is also a prim and proper neo-Victorian with a habit of regarding duty and pleasure as synonymous. Dinah is an apostle of self-expression, always dressing and undressing her mind to suit the latest intellectual fashion, from Picasso to Kierkegaard. "On visits and at her Bohemian parties, she makes an impression on Rickie. Pretty soon, Rickie's business engagements are mostly monkey business. Torn between his obligations to Madeleine and his two young sons, and the emotional release he feels with Dinah, Rickie's conscience and his stomach both begin...
