...without either being drawn toward Communism or embracing the bourgeois Establishment. Nowhere has the conflict been more tortured than in Italy. There, Socialists are outflanked on the left by the West's strongest Communist Party, while the center is pre-empted by the dominant Christian Democrats. Ever in search of a role, often quarreling among themselves, the Socialists have contributed greatly to Italy's protean politics. They have just caused the latest Italian government crisis, and brought down the promising government of Christian Democrat Mariano Rumor...
...after the "Grand Coalition" Cabinet adopted the Socialist view, a revolt broke out in the ranks of the Chris tian Democrats. It was led by Finance Minister Franz Josef Strauss's Bavarian branch of the party. The Bavarians, who argue that it is time to restrict the search for war criminals to major offenders, demanded a so-called "differentiated approach."

Like U.S. forces on search-and-destroy missions in Viet Nam, Roman cavalry patrols regularly harried the forested valleys and bare fells rising to the Scottish border. Caledones creeping through the furze or wheeling down on the moors in small war chariots soon learned the bloody lesson that the sector in front of the wall was as Roman as anything behind it. So manned, however, the wall was expensive. Divine estimates that no fewer than 35,000 troops, 63% of the entire garrison force of Roman Britain, were tied...
