Det er f.eks. ikke tilfældigt, at formanden for den forfatningsgivende forsamling, som efter krigen skrev den smukke italienske forfatning, var kommunisten Umberto Terracini, mens formanden for konventet i dag er den yderst respektable, men også meget moderate hr. Giscard d'Estaing.
It is no coincidence, for example, that the Constituent Assembly which wrote the marvellous Italian Constitution in the post-war period, had as its President the communist, Umberto Terracini, while our Convention is chaired by the extremely respectable but extremely moderate Mr Giscard d'Estaing.
