...marauding bedbugs during a stop in a hotel in Southern Italy. Made a noble in 1930 by King Victor Emmanuel chiefly for his exemplary treatment of his workers, Count Gaetano has five sons to carry on his title and the family business: Vittorio Emanuele, 40, a Liberal Deputy; Umberto, 36, who runs the farms; Paolo, 32, a sales executive with the retail outlets; Pietro, 25. a law student, and Giannino, 34, who has been handed the prize assignment-running the textile company. As a youth, handsome, soft-spoken Giannino became an Italian national hero by twice...

It remained for crusty Communist Senator Umberto Terracini to raise the question that was in the minds of Communists and anti-Communists the world over. Noting that Khrushchev himself was long a member of Stalin's clique, Terracini asked whether new denunciations in the future "might not sweep away Comrade Khrushchev himself...
