...Gaddafi flew into a rage about a mild satire of himself printed by the Turin daily La Stampa. He threatened to have Fiat, the Italian megacompany that owns La Stampa, put on the Arab boycott list unless it fired the paper's Jewish editor, Arrigo Levi. Fiat Chairman Giovanni Agnelli stood by Levi, and the matter was forgotten. Time and oil money, however, can change the political-economic balance of power, and last week Levi had a new story to print.

The allegations remained unsubstantiated. Then last week the Italian leftist weekly L'Espresso published three documents purportedly showing that Lockheed intended to pay $43,000 in bribes to current Premier Giulio Andreotti. The immediate public...
Three years in preparation, the report is based on interviews with 2,150 adult men and women by a corps of researchers headed by Giovanni Caletti, founder of the Research Center for Sexual Education at Mestre, near Venice. Although his study was limited to the Veneto region in the northeast, Caletti points out that it broadly reflects Italy as a whole. Some of those attitudes reveal surprisingly miserable sex lives.
