...there's no more elegant setting for a haircut than Genoa's Barbieria Giacalone, a tiny, three-chair gem squeezed into the city's oldest quarter near St. Lorenzo cathedral. Its eponymous founder, Archimede Giacalone, established his 10-sq-m premises in 1882 to serve sailors traveling through the city's busy port...
...least one terrorist, however, was apparently telling a different story. It was confirmed last week that two of the accused had been moved from the maximum-security facility at Spoleto to prisons near Genoa, where magistrates last week granted U.S. officials permission to question them. Perhaps as a result of their testimony, another terrorist suspect was arrested on the outskirts of Rome. According to unconfirmed Italian press reports, one hijacker told Genoa investigators that Abul Abbas had masterminded their operation. He also reportedly said that Abul Abbas had promised to spring the four terrorists from prison, threatening to stage kidnaping...

...Rome-based Cardinals: John Paul's doctrinal policy chief, JOSEPH CARDINAL RATZINGER of Germany; the head of Italy's Bishops' Conference, CAMILLO CARDINAL RUINI; and Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Cardinal Sodano. The thinking is that their favored candidate would be DIONIGI CARDINAL TETTAMANZI, 71, the former Archbishop of Genoa, who has succeeded Martini in Milan. His philosophical approach is sufficiently unclear that neither the progressive Cardinals nor the doctrinaire are likely to oppose him. In Genoa he spoke out in favor of antiglobalization protesters, and in Milan he has called for compassion toward immigrants, drawing the wrath of rightist...
