Before Parliament adjourns for the beach next week, Andreotti expects action on part of his long legislative program.

Then he saw them, and for an instant his internal radar swept the horizon and put them up against the Democrats of other times. Not that much difference, he told himself with relief, after only a few seconds. People keep forgetting that Democrats have always come out of the streets and back alleys.
