...Guinean Premier. More important, probably, is Touré's vaulting ambition. He is in close touch with President Kwame Nkrumah of independent Ghana and has a mystic concept of his role in the future greatness of his continent. "All Africa is my problem," he boasts. A Marxist-trained unionist himself, Sekou Touré, 36, envisions a Guinean government in which labor unions will be the prime instruments of administrative power...
...postwar middle-of-the-road pattern. To his only ally in the coalition government, Giuseppe Saragat's anti-Communist Socialists, Fanfani gave four crucial posts in social experiment-the Ministries of Finance, Labor, State Participation and Communications. For the first time since the war, a trade unionist was included in the Cabinet: Giulio Pastore, the head of the anti-Communist labor federation, CISL, became Minister for Economic Development of Southern Italy and Depressed Areas.

Stonecutter by training, Zapotocky was a longtime trade unionist and Parliamentary Deputy (1920-38, 1945-48), tenaciously survived jail terms. Nazi concentration camps and de-stalinization purges, but, for all his rise to power, remained in the shadows-primarily a backstage figure...
