They had picked up votes from the disillusioned and impatient who abound in Italy's uneven economy. To these unhappy Italians they sold nostalgia, a promise to resurrect the old days when Italy strutted before the world as a first-class power, when decisions were made for, not by, the people, and when the Duce took care of everyone. Most important of all, the M.S.I, won backing from among the same group that financed Mussolini's rise-rich landowners and industrialists who fear even De Gasperi's mild reform program and want insurance against change...

Shivers & Waistcoats. The Chicago Orchestral Association's directors were still not sure about that. After a series of musical fiascos in recent years, they wanted a "great" conductor to resurrect the orchestra's fame & fortune. Said one director: "The board all want him. He's a great musician, though I understand he's a little on the prima donna side. He might be hard for Eddie [Association President Edward Ryerson] to handle." There were other considerations. Said one symphony musician: "Maybe it's just as well if Furtwangler doesn't come. I understand...
