...near their hometown east of Naples leveled influence-peddling charges at both of them. And thus this key centrist ally of Prime Minister Romano Prodi announced that he, "with great courage," was withdrawing his party's support for the fragile majority, opening the door to a government crisis. "Che coraggio!?" an Italian might say with an apt double meaning: "What courage?" and "What gall!" Just 24 hours later, Mastella was already being publicly courted by Silvio Berlusconi, ever-present opposition chief, Prodi archnemesis and former - and would-be future - Prime Minister. Despite its air of overwrought soap opera, Italy...
...their musical incarnations, though hardly bearable in the original. The fact is often missed because in the U.S., at least, opera is usually sung in the original language, and most members of the audience have little more than a basic vocabulary consisting of amore morire, andia-mo, bene, coraggio, preghiera; Götter, Liebe, Tod, Sturm, Blut; merveille, sourire, larmes, yeux.

Egyptian Pilot Ibrahim el Shiaty, who speaks good Italian, barked his first orders: "Avanti adagio, venti a diritta" (Slow ahead, 20 degrees rudder to the right). We moved slowly past the statue of Canal Builder Ferdinand de Lesseps with bronze arm outstretched, past the white-colonnaded canal headquarters where the green...
...Coraggio was the type of ship which confronts a pilot with the toughest problems and dangers of all. She was built to carry the biggest load that could squeeze through the ditch. Her twin screws churn up mud within inches of the bottom, tend to make the big ship yaw from side to side. Besides, she was heading south full of highly volatile free gases left (because of an evaporator breakdown) from her last load of crude. A single bump, a single spark, could explode the gas in an instant mass of flame. Skipper Aniello Coppola stuck close...
