Until recently, Italians accepted this "dictatorship of the bureaucracy" with sad fatalism. Lately, however, unhappiness has changed to anger. Since last autumn, all sorts of groups-firemen and farmers, nurses and teachers-have gone on strike, as much in rage against the government as in quest of higher pay. Now, after 20 years of study and a year of parliamentary debate, Rome is finally responding.

He talks constantly of his freedom, but he is incapable of breaking through into the real, accepting freedom of love. His only power is to destroy whatever he can touch-the innocent troth of a country girl...
...activities was breaking down. The puppy dog student government that arranged mixers and fought for parietal liberalization was becoming more political as students joined SDS rather than the Young Dems. The War had come to Harvard. And the Dow incident in the Fall of '67 turned student anti-war rage in on the University itself...
