...against the wall!" The slogan, usually in combination with a few supplementary obscenities, has become the battle cry of the U.S. protest movement-or at least a sizable part of it.

Even in the midst of "II Boom" of Italy's thriving economy, the Communists continue to increase their popular vote. The party is eager to put together a new coalition of the left; the slogan in Bologna last week was "a political alternative to overcome the crisis." Praise for Pope Paul from Longo was meant for the ears of progressive Catholics who might join such a coalition. The party is also seeking ways, without watering down its power, to give more attention...
