...journey at his own pace. Once he stopped to greet a delegation of convicts from Regina Coeli prison, another time to bless a crowd gathered in the village of Acilia. At the windswept airport the Pope shook hands with a platform-full of dignitaries, including Italian President Antonio Segni and Premier Aldo Moro. Clearly enjoying his venture, the Pope blessed the crowd (tough old Socialist Pietro Nenni, Italy's Vice Premier, conspicuously refused to cross himself) before taking his seat in the Vatican-chartered Alitalia...

In accordance with Italian procedure, Fanfani last week handed his resignation to President Antonio Segni, who is expected to name a Premier-designate this week. If Fanfani is passed over, No. 1 candidate for the office will be the Christian Democrats' tall, unassuming Aldo Moro, 46, who became interim party leader in 1959 and has since emerged as party strongman...
