...World War II for his underground resistance work-first against Mussolini's fascist regime, later against the Nazis. He was co-founder of the postwar Socialist Party and has been a member of Parliament since 1946. Pertini does have one striking advantage at this particular time: in his long parliamentary career, there has never been a hint of scandal...
...problem is that one of the great driving forces of art, the desire to comment on the quality of contemporary life, on the state of mind of people caught up in the conflicts of a particular time and place, is subverted in a totalitarian state...
