Christian Democrat Antonio Segni, 64, a lean-featured, soft-voiced professor who looks like a country gentleman of 50 years ago, took over last week where his predecessor Mario Scelba left off, and managed to put together again Italy's four-party, middle-of-the-road coalition...

They are a smash hit, and one of the boys improves his backstage hours by becoming an expert crapshooter, another a skilled Peeping Tom.
