...BOLOGNA, Italy—Prior to leaving for the Peninsula, I was swarmed with well-meant advice. Rather than suggesting I pack first-aid however, my friends and family transformed themselves into my self-appointed style experts. “Try and dress nice,” they cautioned, all raised eyebrows and knowing looks. “You don’t want to stand out as an American. Italians are more fashionable.” True, most Americans dream of glimpsing the mere dregs of the glamour this country emanates. Italy, typically considered the hub of the fashion...
Avoid foods containing high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It's not just in cereals and soft drinks but also in ketchup and bologna, baked goods, soups and salad dressings.

His conclusion: "This is not how science is done...
...reinstall Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for another five years or to oust him in favor of former European Commission President Romano Prodi. Thirty-six years ago, a young priest officiated at the wedding of a fresh-faced economics professor, who, like the priest, came from a region near Bologna. The priest and the professor, Ruini and Prodi, have weathered the years; their early rapport may have endured less well. Prodi ignored the Cardinal's call to boycott the June referendum, saying he was "a grown-up Catholic and I'm going to vote." But Prodi has since been more careful...
