...Maurizio. Three days before, word of a different videotape, which al-Jazeera declined to air, had galvanized Italy. It showed a fourth captive, Fabrizio Quattrocchi, calmly saying, "I'll show you how an Italian dies," before taking a bullet in the neck. Iraq 's continuing turmoil has been boosting antiwar feeling in Italy, but last week, public solidarity with Agliana and the other captives was intense. The government of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi tried to extricate the hostages through secret talks, and denied reports it was paying a ransom. But when Berlusconi crowed that, with the imminent departure of Spanish...
...year-old had just graduated from high school in a nearby town a few days earlier, and he was washing down his grilled chicken skewers with iced oolong tea instead of the local ale.

On April 26, 1937, German airplanes launched an all-out assault to help Generalissimo Francisco Franco break Basque resistance to his Nationalist forces, an event Pablo Picasso memorialized in his famous antiwar mural. TIME reported on the bombing in our May 10, 1937, issue...
...swampy waters of America's painfully controversial conflict. But Battlefield Vietnam (Electronic Arts; $39.95) wades right in with the most harrowing historical multiplayer game yet created. Playing it feels like wandering onto the set of a chaotic Vietnam movie. The ambiance is pitch-perfect; EA licensed original period antiwar hits like Fortunate Son so the tunes could blare ironically across the jungle. As in its predecessor, Battlefield 1942, players compete with strangers over the Internet on an intricate 3-D map (representing the Ho Chi Minh Trail, say, or the city of Hue). Your aim is to capture as many...
