Bellini, an Italian composer of the early nineteenth century, found arias where Prokoviev later discovered pas de deux.

Whether the companies can clear themselves depends largely on the eventual testimony of Industrialist Vincenzo Cazzaniga, who until two years ago headed both Unione Petrolifera and Exxon's local subsidiary Esso Italiana. A warrant for his arrest has been issued, but he is now on a business trip abroad. Cazzaniga is specifically charged with having distributed about $2 million to politicians in 1972 to make sure...
