...company strikes. There have been work stoppages on only 34 days in the past six years. Fiat also controls Turin's La Stampa (circ. 500,000), which is probably Italy's best daily after the Corriere della Sera. It far outsells the Communist daily L'Unita among Turin's workers. Like Agnelli, the paper is undogmatic, progressive and slightly left-of-center on most issues...
Died. Mario Alicata, 48, editor of Italy's Communist daily L'Unita, a wartime partisan who joined the Reds in 1940, won a 1948 parliamentary seat (held ever since), took over L'Unita in 1962, a position in the top six-man party Secretariat in 1963, and by mixing sex and crime, even U.S. comic strips, with the usual Kremlin dialectic, maintained the paper's position as Italy's second-biggest daily, with a circulation of 300,000; of a heart attack; in Rome...
...committee meetings the poor talked of "organizing against the political and economic structure" that has denied them control over anti-poverty expenditures. There was talk of "political assassination" to oust officeholders accused of "keeping us down."

Analyzing the Alienated. As the comics have grown up, people have begun to take them more seriously. In 1963, Rome's Communist newspaper L'Unita ran a ponderous analysis of Peanuts in which it concluded that Lucy is a Fascist and all the Peanuts are sad little "alienated" Americans. "It is true," concedes Communist Critic Gianni Toti, "that the comics have their own particular visible universality and are therefore democratic. It is true that during the war Tarzan left to fight Hitler, the Phantom was mobilized to fight the Japanese, and Mandrake engaged in counterespionage. It is true...
...always, the Vatican is a hot campaign issue; this time, Pope John has made it hotter than usual by meeting Aleksei Adzhubei, Nikita Khrushchev's son-in-law, last month, and otherwise establishing friendlier relations with the Kremlin. Fortnight ago, the Communist newspaper L'Unita exaggerated Pope John's recent Pacem in Terris encyclical as "an appeal for peace based on nuclear disarmament." This prompted a pro-government newspaper to crack that the Reds were suddenly "more papist than the Pope." In fact, the Vatican is quietly backing Fanfani's Christian Democratic-Socialist partnership, though publicly...
