...beaches and in the mountains, Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Spadolini proclaimed a stringent austerity package, describing the proposals as being of "historic proportions." They were indeed, but they also contained political dynamite with an unexpectedly short fuse. Only five days after the big economic squeeze was announced, seven Socialist ministers resigned from Spadolini's 28-member Cabinet last week in a move that in effect felled his 13-month-old government, Italy's 41st since World...
