Nonetheless, the Barbados party was about three times the size of the 110-person entourage that the leader of the other superpower, Leonid Brezhnev, took to Bonn last November.

"Italian Art Now: An American Perspective" is the latest in the Guggenheim's discursive series of "sample shows" of the current art of different nations.

Throughout, Dozier handled himself like a practiced politician, showing no signs of the anxiety or depression that so often afflicts victims of a hostage taking. Only once, when his Air Force C-141 transport dipped...
...biggest party, the Christian Democrats, were unacceptable to Socialist Leader Bettino Craxi, whose party made spectacular gains last month in local elections across the country. For their part, the Christian Democrats would have refused to participate in any government headed by the ambitious Craxi. Under the circumstances, President Sandro Pertini wisely turned to Spadolini, a former political science professor and journalist with high intelligence, a well-known capacity for work and an impressive record as an administrator...
