Still, only a small proportion of the illegal capital outflow is being transported by Mercedes and motor scooter. Until new antismuggling laws were passed last April, lire in cash or checks could be transferred to some Swiss or Liechtenstein banks via clandestine exchange channels in Rome and Milan. Huge sums have also been sent abroad by the device of under-invoicing exports and over-invoicing imports; the excess amounts were then deposited in bank accounts abroad. But when it seemed that the Communists might make major gains in last June's elections, Switzerland was awash in a flood...

Guccione hired some of England's best actors-Malcolm McDowell to play Caligula, Peter O'Toole for the diseased Emperor Tiberius and John Gielgud for the aristocratic Nerva. He then set about constructing half of ancient Rome: a mile-long facsimile of a 1st century street, a 100-yd.-long stadium, and a 175-ft.-long floating bordello, encrusted with gold leaf, where the wives of Roman Senators were forced into prostitution to fill Caligula's treasury.
