Though his proud fellow citizens like to think of him as their own Mike Hammer, Milan's Tommaso Ponzi, 37, really does not quite meet TV specifications for a private eye. Big Tom weighs 270 lbs., is a happily married homebody (three children) who has no time for slinky blondes. But otherwise, Tom is up to fictional standards. He is a proven skullbasher: in Italy's first chaotic postwar days he tangled with the Communists in (by his own estimate) 1,300 street brawls, mowing them down with a chunk of railroad track. And he has cold nerve...

...makes the most of the poetry in the role; for, although a soldier, Othello is the most poetic of all Shakespeare's heroes, including Hamlet.

Rome's Police Chief Saverio Polito re signed just before the case first broke onto the front pages. A little later, the heat of the case forced the resignation of National Police Chief Tommaso Pavone. But still there were no arrests, and even less effort in the government to get to the bottom of the affair. People began to compare the Montesi case to France's famed I'Affaire Dreyfus...

Such was the man who moved in Rome's most select circles, who addressed the national chief of police Tommaso Pavone with the intimate "tu." Many of those who originally doubted La Caglio's story changed their minds. The Communists promptly trumpeted the fact that Scelba and Montagna had both been witnesses at the wedding of Spataro's son two years ago, pointed out that Scelba himself had appointed Pavone chief of police...
