...opening to the left" take it too far to the left, or should the tax collector become too zealous for the businessman's taste (there is talk of imposing a capital gains tax and raising the income tax), Italy's loose lira might be frightened into a one-way flight that could mean trouble for Italy's whole financial structure. Last week the Milan stock exchange reflected this uncertainty, with the slowest trading period that Italians could remember...
...NASA bosses. For months Shorty bantily crowed at the notion. Two weeks ago, the crow got lower. "I am sure my role is going to change," he admitted after a meeting with NASA Administrator James Webb.

...financial-district bullion warehouse in the lunch hour. After tying up a watchman, the villains nonchalantly lugged forty 27-lb. gold bars-worth $560,000 -across a sidewalk into a blue delivery van, then made a clean getaway despite a traffic-stopping dash the wrong way on a one-way street. Hoping to keep the culprits from leaving the country, Scotland Yard posted men at every airfield and seaport in Britain. Flying-squad officers checked every small foundry in London on the off-chance that they might nab the gang in the act of melting their haul into easily portable...
