...Milan has two pillars," runs a respectful Italian adage. "One is La Scala. The other is Carriere della Sera" By catering as faithfully as its operatic opposite number to middleclass, culture-conscious Milanese, Corriere has long reigned as Italy's biggest daily (circ. 505,000) and one of the most enterprising newspapers published anywhere.

Complaining that the paper's "continued headlining" of recession news "induces retrenching of possible buyers," the telegram from Burbank's Automobile Dealers Association announced that members were canceling their ad contracts with the paper.
