At a mass press conference with Mussolini, Divver was jostled accidentally and raised a protesting voice; he was ejected, shouting and waving his fist, and at once became a hero back home. Too cowardly to refuse his accidental fame, Divver became Forward's expert on Italian affairs. Practice in the use of every...
