Chief strategist for the Café de Paris is smoothly handsome Manager Nicola di Nozzi, 44, who learned his trade in Manhattan's Quo Vadis restaurant. Di Nozzi's first significant victory over Doney's was gained by capturing the patronage of shapely Artist Novella Parigini (TIME, Jan. 25, 1954), famed both for her slickly painted nudes and for her girl friends who wear tight slacks, wild hairdos, and exude the sort of animal magnetism that , draws crowds on the Via Veneto. Another Di Nozzi inspiration was the ivory telephones that Café de Paris waiters plug...

Two-thirds support such "Welfare State" projects as Social Security and Federal regional power development. Not surprisingly, current "liberal" proposals receive similar impressive backing: four-fifths approve of Federal aid to public secondary schools; two-thirds, of American economic and non-military technical aid to other countries at its present level, of national health insurance, of Federal aid to private colleges and universities, of government wage and price controls to check inflation; and half...
...argue for a future Utopia. Like Burke, they have come to look for sources of stability. Only time will tell whether a permanent change in the relationship of the American intellectual to his society is in process. There will still remain the inherent tendencies to oppose the status quo. Any status quo embodies rigidities and dogmatisms which intellectuals have an inalienable right of attacking...
