...Young Re your report on the under-40s [April 10]: I'm an American who has been living in Italy for more than 20 years and loving it. My daughter earned her degree in chemical engineering two years ago with highest honors at age 23 at the University of Genoa. She was able to find her current job five months before she got her degree. She was recruited and hired because she was a native English speaker - and because she was willing to leave home and move to another province. Gina Della Bosca Genoa, Italy...
...after exploding onstage at a conference of Italy's leading industrialists. The Prime Minister accused businessmen who support the left of either being crazy or having "skeletons in the closet" that require them to seek protection from left-wing magistrates. Berlusconi lashed out again following protests against him in Genoa, warning that his opponents were allied with radical forces who put Italy "in a situation of democratic emergency."

Eventually, she can recall only one word of Kyrgyz, her native tongue: kuraj. Di Natale is herself something of a kuraj. Born 54 years ago in Genoa, she studied in Milan and Monaco, became an ethnosociologist (known for her monograph on Andalusian farm workers) and settled in Germany, where she lives with her husband and son. For Kuraj, Di Natale interviewed scholars of Central Asia, Stalingrad veterans, former prison-camp inmates, Cologne civilians who survived...
...this year's meeting, at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland at the start of July, feels different. Alongside the tired ritual, there's some real politics going on. It's not just the politics of protest, for which the G-8 became infamous four years ago during riots in Genoa, forcing levels of security that would make Kim Jong Il blush. There will be protest, possibly flamboyant. The rock singer Bob Geldof has called for a million people to make their way to Edinburgh to campaign for Africa's poor. He even wants another Dunkirk of small boats to ferry...
