Nobody, it would appear, is immune to the rampant violence that has given rise to a siege mentality among the Italian people. Not only are bankers, captains of industry and politicians subject to abduction and killing, but virtually anybody suspected of being even comfortably "borghese" has become a possible target, as evidenced by the recent series of attacks on conservative newspaper editors and middle-level civil servants...
...Britain and elsewhere around the world last week, it seemed as if Huxley's prophetic vision had become reality. Banner headlines in Britain called it OUR MIRACLE and BABY OF THE CENTURY. On television newscasts in Europe and the U.S., stories about an obscure British couple and the abstruse subject of embryology shouldered aside items about the Middle East, international trade balances and inflation.

In fact, he is not entirely unsympathetic. The sources of Eva's greeds, hates and demagogic passions are too real to dismiss. Sad is an adjective that often appears in front of Argentina, and this book shows...
