- <p> Chanting "Italia! Italia!" and "We shall win!" some 4,000
- grimy, exhausted but jubilant Albanians arrived at the Italian
- port of Brindisi last week after a seven-hour ferry trip from
- their homeland aboard four ships chartered by Italy and
- Germany. The refugees, many of them single men and young
- families, had spent the previous two weeks crowded into
- European embassies in Tirana seeking to escape from their
- oppressive nation. "I have waited 35 years for this moment,"
- said Paride Derani, 65. While the crisis has caused a shake-up
- in the Albanian government, leaders have vowed not to abandon
- the strict communist line.
