...party with more realistic hopes of gaining from the scandal, however, is the Socialist. Its ebullient leader, Bettino Craxi, who tried and failed in 1979 to form a government, is hoping that President Pertini, also a Socialist, will give him another chance to try to end the Christian Democrats' 35-year monopoly on the premiership. The country's political fate thus depends on the President, who, at 84, is one of the few politicians in Italy who enjoys general trust and respect. After last week's stunning revelations, it was no wonder that one Italian weekly headlined...

Mitterrand's gesture of consulting with friend and foe alike reinforced the new administration's tone of national unity...
...revelations, since buttressed by other former U.S. and Japanese diplomats, exploded across Japan. Last week Socialist Leader Ichio Asukata declared that the government of Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki "deserves 10,000 deaths" for the nuclear deceit. Leftist and labor organizations rallied to protest port calls by U.S. naval vessels and demanded on-site inspections of all U.S. bases in Japan...
