While in 1986 Italy was enjoying the fourth year of stable government under the leadership of Socialist Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, the specter of a return to the "bad old days" now looms large, particularly after the temporary fall of Goria's coalition in November. Laments Treasury Secretary Giuliano Amato: "Item by item, you go through the list of changes, and every plus is now a minus." After Goria offered his resignation, President Francesco Cossiga asked him to try again, and Goria quickly returned to office with a new vote of confidence. But the next political crisis was already waiting...
...subject of one--on celluloid disasters. But that has not stopped Director Michael Cimino from undertaking yet another big-budget epic: The Sicilian, based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel. Now being filmed in Italy, the movie centers on the short, bloody career of Italian Gangster Salvatore Giuliano, a real-life Robin Hood of the late '40s who dreamed of turning Sicily into a U.S. state. He is played by the French heartthrob (and most recent Tarzan) Christopher Lambert, 29, who unhesitatingly grabbed the chance to work with Cimino. "He is a very passionate man, a strong person...
...school system can afford some sort of portable learning aid. School District 7, in New York City's South Bronx, where every child receives a federally funded free lunch because they are all below the poverty line, has purchased several dozen TI learning aids for remedial students.

In his view, U.S. firms not only have the billions needed for mass-producing a world car, but through their suppliers they can turn out a tremendous flow of parts in many countries. Says he: "This enormous access to components is the greatest strength of American efficiency in production." Japan's Takashi Ishihara, president of Nissan Motor, speaks as if the American challenge is a war. Says he: "We find ourselves on the eve of intense international competition with...
...conflict between Communist neighbors had a disillusioning impact on some leftist European intellectuals. In an article for Milan's Corriere della Sera, Journalist Giuliano Zincone recalled how he had marched in protest against the American presence in Viet Nam and had contributed money to the Viet Cong. China was "on the side of Viet Nam, like Che, united in the struggle." But then came Peking's turmoil: the masses attacking the Gang of Four, the resurgence of the old "capitalist reader," Teng. By invading Cambodia, Viet Nam betrayed its principles. "Now the circle has closed," Zincone wrote. "Gentle China...
