...virtue, but a hidebound, evangelical conception of charity. Amid this catalog of inexactitudes, the most egregious example must be terror’s foil, “freedom”: In its reduction to the neoconservative excuse par excellence and a shoddy façade of altruism, all the chauvinism of the White House word-smiths is laid bare; at once, all their broad divisiveness is realized and perpetuated...
Giannini, who graduated from Rome's Fashion Academy, is often described by co-workers as a controlling, somewhat fiery workaholic, although to the outside world she maintains a guarded faade.

Writing in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, religion commentator Matthias Drobinski said that Scientology is actually in decline in Germany and that its gleaming new Berlin headquarters site is a "shimmering façade." Drobinsksi credited its decline to anti-Scientology monitoring and educational efforts by "the state, political parties, the established church and trade unions." Banning the group would simply give it an undeserved boost, he said, writing, "The demonization of the flagging troupe may only benefit one group - Scientology itself...
