...Raymond Dassi, a Cameroonian who has lived in Bologna since 1996 and now heads its immigrant association, supports the mayor's tough line - but thinks his respect for law-abiding immigrants should go further, especially since Bologna needs foreign-born workers. "We are helping [Italians]. They can't see that," says Dassi, 35. "They need to democratize immigrants. They need to say, 'Let's see your ideas.'" Bologna's old and new residents are learning how to live together; next comes governing together...
...think about the $75 billion global animation industry, what comes to mind is the stunning computer-graphic magic of Pixar or the irony-laced wit of The Simpsons, not an obscure little outfit in sub-Saharan Africa. But Pictoon - a cartoon company formed in 1998 by Sauvalie, a French-Cameroonian graduate of the renowned Les Gobelins animation school in Paris, and Senegalese businesswoman Aida Ndiaye, once the local agent for Xerox office machinery - wants to make Africa a cartoon hub for the world. Pictoon aims to win work from Europe and the U.S. that is traditionally farmed out to animation...
...NUBIANS.

Cameroon and Nigeria came into the tournament fully expecting to make the last eight, and perhaps go even further. Nigerian coach Adegboye Onigbinde and Cameroonian captain Rigobert Song each boasted that his side would fulfill, if belatedly, PelE's old prophesy that an African team would win the cup in the 20th century. Instead, both sides suffered early shocks and then exited with bad grace, Cameroon kicking at shins rather than the ball in a bruising...
...Cameroonian proverb says that when a man asks questions, he cannot avoid the answers. When Menyoli asked himself what would happen if he became an Olympian, he knew the answer. "I'm such an amateur skier," he says. "It's tough." But the sport isn't really the point. Menyoli's Olympic-sized ambition is. "I want to ski for a reason," he says. "I want to tell people that they really have to watch out, that AIDS is serious." He'll deserve a medal if he gets that message across...
