...ranches" began appearing in the Med in the late '90s and have proliferated over the past decade - fish farms consisting of circular floating cages about 50 m in diameter and 50 m deep, set up 2-3 km from shore. The ranches are most often controlled not by small European operators but by large multinational corporations. In the cages, tuna fatten up on smaller fish, often for months at a time, before they are slaughtered and shipped off to Japan - the market for nearly 80% of the Mediterranean bluefin catch. The new large-scale ranches have wreaked havoc with...
...Finally, Eros published a piece that was erotic and artful: an eight-page "photographic tone poem" by Ralph Hattersley Jr., called Black and White in Color: African-American guy, European-American gal, both nude.

Italy's lineup, by contrast, had no players of immigrant origin (although Mauro Camoranesi's grandparents had left Italy for Argentina) - the Azzuri were, to put it bluntly, the whitest of the Western European teams at the World Cup. Italian soccer has long been a magnet for fascist nostalgia of the far right, and festivities following its triumph were marred by Swastikas spray-painted on the walls of Rome's historic Jewish quarter, as well as a comment by a former minister...
...Lebanon's sunny shoreline is filled with vacationing families from the Gulf states. By night, the city's watering holes throb with oil-rich Arab playboys and European hipsters who have flocked to see the new Beirut. Once a by-word for civil war, Lebanon's capital was recently reborn as Middle East party central...
