...history. The Christian Democrats, who overconfidently expected to score significant gains, could hardly brag about their own performance. The party that has dominated every Italian government since 1946 slipped fractionally from 38.7% to 38.3% of the popular vote and lost one seat in the lower house for a new total...

The Socialist Party, the country's third largest, did not fare much better; it gained five new seats for a total of 62 in the Chamber, but failed to make the headway predicted by its vigorous but erratic leader, Bettino Craxi...

With the grounding of the DC-10, United lost 23% of its available seats and American lost 25%. So far, none of their competitors have offered similar discounts, though TWA was embarrassed when the New York Times ran an ad announcing TWA's half-fare coupons. In fact, the airline had prepared the ad only as a contingency measure. TWA quickly announced that the ad was in error because...
