...foreigners resisted-not even the German woman who was told off by police for wearing toreador pants and bare midriff, nor the American girl in a bikini chased from the Fountain of Trevi. But Communist newspapers raised a hue and cry about "clerical intolerance," and some of Italy's leading non-Communist papers joined in.
