...enough, Wetherill promises that the exchange will move back downtown. So far, the city shows little inclination to do so, even though the 50 levy will raise only $3,500,000 a year. "If the brokers want to leave, let them leave," says City Council President Paul D'Ortona. If the tax stands, that is just what some 50 Philadelphia securities firms are expected...
...Zomba, mobs of toughs supporting Banda clashed with civil servants backing the sacked Cabinet ministers in pitched battles employing pick handles, fence rails, steel bars, and pandas (long hacking knives). At least two died, and the hospitals were jammed with injured. The Mercedes car of ex-Justice Minister Ortona Chirwa was burned by Banda men, and Chirwa himself escaped into the bush.

This genteel exercise in white slavery occurred in the home of Italian Ambassador to the U.N. Egidio Ortona at an auction to raise money for Gian Carlo Menotti's Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto.

...gabardine suit and sky-blue jumper, a blue ribbon in her hair, Deputy Diaz last week listened to the charge. Said she, her long, black lashes fluttering: "When I spoke at Ortona I had not prepared any speech so I cannot remember the exact words . . . But what I am absolutely certain of is that I never mentioned hands or blood." Judge Pierantoni interrupted: "What I want to know is whether you mentioned hands and holy water." Deputy Diaz tapped her feet on the wooden floor. Said she: "Niente mani" (no hands). She went on: "I did mention holy water...
