...such troubles plagued the members of TIME'S Rome bureau as they traveled across Italy, assessing the impact of Agnelli and his fellow industrialists on every aspect of Italian life. Bureau Chief James Bell, who concentrated on the man who is known to his countrymen as "Numero Uno," was surprised by the utter plainness of Agnelli's office above his factory in Turin.
