A large and diverse host of culpable villains (or heroes depending of course on one's perspective), has emerged, including such notables as Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, Communist Party leader Enrico Berlinguer, Pope Paul VI, Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli, prominent Mafia chieftains, and Brigate Rosse revolutionaries.

Too young to have participated in the civil rights-antiwar protests, some present college students feel that they have somehow missed out, that gone are the days when college unrest meant rectitude and legitimacy in a wayward nation. This romanticized understanding of campus turbulence in the past influences attitudes toward today's events. To the demonstrations of last week The Crimson reacted with the glee of a spoiled child who has just been given his lollypop...
