...Milan, "kneecapped" a TV news editor in Turin and similarly wounded a local Christian Democrat official in Genoa. Bombs have demolished a Milan police station and two Rome offices of the neo-Fascist Italian Social Movement. Then there has been the re-emergence of the Autonomisti, a semi-clandestine amalgam of Marxist student organizations...

Many come from strongly patriarchal societies and find themselves in conflict with expanding social opportunities for American women. Most intangibly, latinos offer the U.S. an amalgam of buoyancy, sensuousness and flair that many northern peoples find tantalizing or mysterious?and sometimes irritating or threatening...
