...STRAINS of a professional polka band, Chicopee proclaims itself the Kielbasa Capital of the World, while across town South Boston mothers wear buttons calling Southie "The Irish Riviera."

They captured the Liguria region, embracing Genoa and the Italian Riviera, to go along with the three regions they already controlled in the Communist "Red Belt"-Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Umbria. They out polled the long-entrenched Christian Democrats in the Marches on the Adriatic as well as in the Piedmont. They won the industrial powerhouses of Milan and Turin...

Emulating their sisters in Lyon, an estimated 200 girls gathered at a chapel in an office development in central Paris. A church in Marseilles was occupied by another 200 unhappy hookers. In the Riviera resorts of Cannes and Nice a number of prostitutes stayed away from their customary sidewalk beats...
