...Italy out of its economic bog, the country will have to depend heavily on IRI (pronounced eerie). But that is what IRI is there for. Founded by Mussolini in 1933 as a hospital for depression-sick companies, IRI provides jobs for nearly 300,000 Italians. Says IRI's genial President Giuseppe Petrilli: "IRI is the state's fundamental instrument for supporting sectors in temporary crisis...

The genial doctor himself has mastered nearly all the nuances of chicken language and can play a weighty role in any chicken society. He knows the loneliness cries of young chicks separated from their mother ("Pieep-pieep-pieep") and their terror trills-a high-pitched "Trr-trr." Both hens and roosters make "frightened" cackles when first they sense danger. After the danger passes, their cackling is full-throated and rhythmical...
