...crises in its postwar history, Italy last week had a government again. It was headed by Mariano Rumor, the same man who 32 days earlier had seen his coalition of Socialists and Christian Democrats fall apart (TIME, July 18). Un able to reconstruct the old relationship because of a schism among the Socialists, Rumor this time built a monocolore, or one-party government from his own Christian Democrats...
...Socialists undoubtedly will lose even more votes than they lost last year. They have split and reunited too many times to be taken seriously any longer. Automaker Giovanni Agnelli, a shrewd political observer if not a disinterested one as head of the vast Fiat enterprises, calls the latest schism "the death knell of Italian Socialism." Adds Agnelli: "In the future, the Socialists can only be complementary to a government." They will still have parliamentary seats, still occupy a place on the stage of Italian politics. But their role like that of the monarchists, for instance, is not likely...
...delegates gathered at the grimy Chicago Coliseum on South Wabash Avenue, straggling in past police taking their pictures, schism dominated the proceedings from the first hour.

...proved remarkably durable, partly because it has been interpreted and stretched so broadly that widely different political movements can and do invoke it (see TIME ESSAY, page 35). In its specific applications, the faith is hopelessly split. Within little more than a decade, Communism has undergone a great schism (Moscow v. Peking), experienced an abortive reformation (Dubcek's Czechoslovakia), and developed a plethora of protestant sects (Yugoslavia and Rumania, among others). The once vaunted and feared unity of Communism has shattered into a bewildering, quarrelsome, logic-and dogma-defying set of parties...
...present a course of action to the Faculty and the students with the goal of rallying a broad consensus behind him. Such a course could still have been firm and swift, but it would have been aimed as much at mobilizing the loyalty of, and at preventing a further schism in the community, as at putting an early end to the occupation. This was, after, all neither a problem of the legal authority to make a decision in such an instance (this authority was clearly the President's) nor was it a mere problem of management. It was a matter...
