Palminteri's decision-all the more convincing because it was reluctant-lifted the shadow of corruption from Italy's Demo-Christian government. Wrote Rome's Messaggero: "Of all the terrible suspicions which tormented public opinion nothing is left: no orgies, no white slavery, no boatloads of prostitutes, nothing." But before the Montesi affair could finally be left to history a new inquiry was in order: How satisfactory was a system of justice which forced Piero Piccioni to suffer three years of public humiliation and judicial jeopardy on the basis of gossip alone...
...move. President Henry T. Heald announced before a meeting of the Chicago Executives' Club that the foundation will devote $500,000 toward stimulating a cultural interchange between the U.S. and Poland.

When the satellite passes into the shadow of the earth, its temperature will drop suddenly to below zero Fahrenheit, but since it will be inhabited only by frostproof instruments, the Navymen do not care how cold it gets...
...Bowery (Lionel Rogosin). Alcohol is a religion, and one of its best-known shrines is a street and a district in Lower East Side Manhattan known as the Bowery.* There, in the long shadow of the skyscraping spires of success, the faithful make perpetual libation to failure. Day and night the staggering crowds of petes and winos, toads and loners mill about in a hundred sticks and arms and muskie stands (as the bars on Skid Row are variously described), and keep the dismal watches of the dark night of the soul.
