...Puccini from their Plutarch, but as the cable network's video music awards, with Chris Rock as host, will be held at New York City's Metropolitan Opera House on Sept. 9, several artists were invited to get with the venue. JANET JACKSON reigns as Cleopatra from Handel's Giulio Cesare, OZZY OSBOURNE plays the sad clown from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, and teen queen BRITNEY SPEARS blooms as Violetta from Verdi's La Traviata. Photographer Mark Seliger says the opera music played during the shoots was tolerated to varying degrees. "It didn't last too long with Eminem, and David...
...dark, compact man with mischievous gray-blue eyes, Fermi was the son of a civil servant, an administrator with the Italian national railroad. He discovered physics at 14, when he was left bereft by the death of his cherished older brother Giulio during minor throat surgery. Einstein characterized his own commitment to science as a flight from the I and the we to the it. Physics may have offered Enrico more consolatory certitudes than religion. Browsing through the bookstalls in Rome's Campo dei Fiori, the grieving boy found two antique volumes of elementary physics, carried them home and read...
Former Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, the country's leading postwar statesman, went on trial Tuesday, charged with trading political favors in Rome for votes supplied by the Mafia .

"Much of the testimony against Andreotti is supplied by pentiti -- repentant Mafiosi...
...exchange for guaranteed votes, Sicily's easily corruptible DC bosses, most of them allied with seven-term Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, looked the other way as the Mafia embarked on an orgy of grand theft and murder. The beautiful historic heart of Palermo was left to rot while Mafia-allied contractors put up ugly, jerry-built apartments on the capital's rim. Millions of dollars were siphoned from projects that were never completed and municipal services never rendered. Honest officials who tried to block or expose the corruption often became what Sicilians quaintly call "excellent cadavers...
...Giulio Andreotti, a seven-time Italian premier and reputed crime-fighter, was indicted for allegedly consorting with the mafia over a lifetime. The 76-year-old Andreotti, Italy's leading postwar statesman, is the highest Italian official ever to be tried on mob charges. "It's really a tremendous charge," says TIME Rome correspondent Greg Burke. "They're claiming that he was a full-fledged member of the mafia. If it's true, it's a terrible indictment of Italian society." Building their case on testimony from Mafia turncoats and former members of Andreotti's Christian Democrat party, prosecutors painted...
