...García-Montalvo, an economics professor at Barcelona's Pompeu Fabra University, says basic misconceptions about the rapidly changing Spanish family have exacerbated the problem. Gung-ho developers forged ahead with building projects, in part because government estimates of housing demand made faulty assumptions. A divorced couple, for instance, was automatically calculated as demand for one additional home, though in reality the husband often moves back in with his parents, or two divorcés join each other in a single household. Moreover, young people in Spain tend to live with their parents until they're married, a result...
...Royal scandals have always proved good box office. The failing marriages of Charles and Diana and Andrew and Sarah in the 1990s boosted newsstand sales everywhere. The whole world was gripped by the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII after he decided to marry the American divorcé Wallis Simpson. However, the last known blackmail case involving a member of the royal family was successfully hushed up for many years. In 1891, the Duke of Clarence, son to King Edward VII, paid £ 200 to secure indiscreet letters he had sent to a prostitute. The case came to light only five...

...With divorce rates skyrocketing, even in Catholic southern Europe, the urge to look for silver linings is strong. Italy, for example, has seen a leap of 71 per cent since 1994, according to the research institute Eurispes. In 2003, there were nearly half as many separations and divorces as there were marriages. Increasing numbers of children are born out of wedlock. Not too long ago, such children - and their mothers - were stigmatized. Not any more, says Grazia Francolini, a director of corporate strategy for TNT Italy, who lives in San Donato, near Milan. At age 36, her mother had married...
