...DIED. GIOVANNI AGNELLI, 81, debonair patriarch of Italian automaker Fiat; in Turin, Italy. Founded by his grandfather in 1899, Fiat was run by Agnelli as president for 30 years until 1996, and he retained control until he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. Agnelli helped industrialize postwar Italy; under him, Fiat became the country's largest company. Its workers had a slogan: "Agnelli is Fiat, Fiat is Turin, and Turin is Italy."

Cortisol may also make depressed patients more prone to osteoporosis. Studies by Dr. Philip Gold and Dr. Giovanni Cizza at the NIMH have shown that premenopausal women who are depressed have a much higher rate of bone loss than their nondepressed counterparts--and this disparity increases as women pass through menopause. Indeed, Cizza estimates that some 350,000 women get osteoporosis each year because of depression. Cortisol appears to interfere with the ability of the bones to absorb calcium and offset the natural calcium loss that comes with menopause and aging. Another class of chemicals, the pro-inflammatory cytokines, have...
...Venice, Bologna has a thousand-year history as both a way station for travelers and a prestigious university town. The constant flow of visitors has brought in many delicacies and ingredients - and of course, sent away generations of messengers bearing glad tidings of the city's legendary cuisine. Giovanni Tamburini, owner of a family delicatessen in the heart of Bologna's historic center, speaks like a proud butcher one minute and a philosophy professor the next. As lunchtime customers pass before the 150 available varieties of sausage hanging nearby, Tamburini explains that understanding food is like studying archaeology. "There...
