...Italy's Communist Party blasted the Soviets for sullying the image of socialism. Italian right-wingers, meanwhile, accused Madrid of doing the same to conservatism. In Lisbon, the Spanish ambassador got a dressing down from a delegation of 40 Portuguese journalists -none of whom have ever been particularly vocal about murders of political dissidents in their own country...
