...succumbing in increasing numbers to the "schlepped in" look. When Wilkes Bashford, San Francisco's priciest men's store, ran full-page ads featuring a man whose linen suit looked as if it had escaped from a disaster movie, it was a sellout. Italy's Giorgio Armani is generally acknowledged to be the greatest evangelist of male unkempt. A disarming, blue-eyed Milanese, Armani, 43, is a canny tailor who knows precisely what each fabric can do and undo. Though Italians call his style Il Look Inglese-to which stiff upper-collared Englishmen might well object-Armani...
...players still clearly exhibit their grounding in other sports, and the result is a distinctly American style that has both advantages and disadvantages. With superior hand-eye coordination and leaping ability learned in childhood baseball and basketball games, Americans make fine goaltenders, agile and sure-handed around the net. Giorgio Chinaglia, the New York Cosmos high-scoring striker, has an adversary's appreciation of the U.S. talent: "There is a nucleus of goalkeepers that are not good-they're exceptional.

In fact, the title of the talk is "The PCI and the Crisis of Italy's Political Economy." Emmerich's parochialism is evident in his assumption that any attempt to apply "Communist dogma" to a "real social situation" will be of merely quaint interest. If he can only see foreign class conflict and byzantine political plots in the current crisis in Italy, then perhaps Emmerich would be better...
...Center for European Studies (CES) has invited Giorgio Napolitano, a member of the Italian Parliament and a leader of the Italian Communist Party, to speak at Harvard in an effort to increase the campus's exposure to European communism, Stanley H. Hoffmann, CES chairman and professor of Government, said yesterday...
