...Shadow State. On Capitol Hill, the Roman Senate tried for centuries to keep republican government alive; the Caesars ended it. Today, at the foot of that hill, in the Via delle Botteghe Oscure (Street of the Dark Shops), which runs almost exactly along Rome's ancient city limits, stands a smart red brick house; there'rules the affable Palm-Branch Caesar of Italian Communism.

Everything was alive, and everything was nothing, in so far as its seeming reality was concerned. And yet everything was everything but still capable of being undermined, changed, improved, or come at in some...
