If Moro's government is to survive, its only choice is to accept the popular shift to the left and grant more concessions to the Socialists, who also gamed in the regional elections and are now indispensable to the success of any center-left coalition that the Christian Democrats seek to form.

In 31 years with the automaker, Brennan, now 56, rose from unskilled laborer through a variety of sales and administrative posts to chairman of Ford of Switzerland. His jobs involved attendance at endless rounds of lunches and social affairs, most of them bibulous. Consuming more and more liquor on the way up, Brennan became an alcoholic, subject to recurrent blackouts. Finally, five years ago, he took early retirement from Ford.
