...there are cemeteries in London where people walk their dogs and have picnics. It's nice. But I have to say that Milan's Cemetery Monumental is breathtaking. I was there in 1985, and it's enormous. It has some of the most amazing memorial sculpture I've ever seen in my life, in a range of styles. Some of it is very expressive and slightly scary. You've gotta see it to believe it; it's fairly over...

Security Council - if it were to ever toy with nuclear weaponry. As it is, Chávez can look forward to stepped-up global pressure if Iran, like North Korea, is eventually found to be pursuing a nuclear bomb, especially if international economic sanctions are imposed on Tehran. If that happens, Chávez has indicated he'll ignore the measures and keep supplying...
