The downward trend continued last week in Berlinguer's native Sardinia, where the party polled less than 30% in a regional election. Stunned by these setbacks, the Communists are entering a phase of soul searching and reappraisal...

There is no dearth of luxurious living at many of the traditional haunts of wealth-from the shim mering playgrounds of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda to Rome's exclusive men's club, Circolo della Caccia, where last week as usual the preluncheon aperitifs were being served by waiters dressed in white stockings, blue knee breeches and silver-buttoned coats...
