...curious election law, he is a candidate in three places: Rome, Venice and the mountain town of Avezzano in Abruzzi. Should he win all three, he would choose one -probably Rome-and pass on the remaining two to other Communists. Berlinguer, who becomes a magnetic orator on the campaign trail, is using his notoriety to flail Christian Democrats "who have enjoyed and enjoy enormous positions of power and have used it not to renew Italy, not to work for justice but to fleece Italy." He can turn out crowds of 30,000 or more even in the heavily Christian Democratic...
Moro was joined on the campaign trail by Party Secretary Benigno Zaccagnini, 64, who last week was felled by a prostate attack in Bologna. In a party that had been plagued by ineptitude and corruption, Zaccagnini, despite his age, had been billed as a fresh face and a genuine "Mr. Clean": his picture is on most D.C. campaign posters, along with the party's slogan: "The New D.C. has already begun."

Yet last week, acting out of a palpable frustration caused by the long trail of illegalities starting with Watergate, the Senate finally redeemed itself. By 72 to 22, it voted to establish a permanent committee to oversee the budgets and operations of all U.S. intelligence bureaus. The 15-member committee is expected to be in business by early June...
...recalls, E. Howard Hunt (Lars Haglund) once forged a cable linking Kennedy personally to the political murder of Viet Nam President Ngo Dinh Diem. How much more convenient to revive a similar charge in fiction, transferring it to Rio de Muerte - and to imply that through a tortuous trail of Democratic cover-up and CIA blackmail, the road came back to Watergate.
