...introductory, from Zen Buddhism to transistorized radios, by a top U.S. scholar, Donald Keene, associate professor of Japanese at Columbia. Author Keene's book has the edge in the number and beauty of its photographs. But Meeting with Japan is steeped in deeper experience. From 1938 to 1943, Italian-born Anthropologist Fosco Maraini studied and taught in Japan. Two of his three daughters were born in Japan, and when Italy surrendered in World War II, he and his family, interned, nearly starved to death in a prison camp near Nagoya. Meeting is the elaborate, graceful story of Maraini...
...year-old housewife in the emergency room of St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse was in deep shock from massive internal bleeding. The problem: to find its source as fast as possible. Italian-born Dr. Goffredo G. Gensini buttonholed a visitor, Radiologist Charles Dotter from the University of Oregon. Dr. Dotter sterilized the G string of a guitar, punctured the main artery in the woman's thigh. then-watching the steel's progress under the fluoroscope-worked it up into the aorta, the body's main artery. When it was close to the heart, he slipped...

Cleveland. Italian-born Democrat Anthony J. Celebrezze, 49, campaigned on his good three-term record, turned back Republican Multimillionaire (chemicals) Tom Ireland, 63, by 78,000 votes. Mustached, swarthy, fiercely aggressive, Lawyer Celebrezze came up the hard way (railroad gangs, prizefighting), had to beat both Republican and Democratic candidates when he first ran for mayor in 1953, kept taxes down, pushed urban redevelopment, increased services. Opponent Ireland, a sometime author who was educated at Princeton, Boston and Harvard universities, was once a municipal judge, wears a derby pulled over his ears and high-laced shoes...
...categories: those who take their clues from the materials they are working and the others who start with an image, then shape materials to embody their vision. The richly decorative materials-first approach is handsomely demonstrated in one whole red-walled gallery at the museum's show. There Italian-born Harry Bertoia's Wall Piece ($750) melds steel, bronze and phosphor into an elegant decoration. Bertoia makes no claim for it beyond stating he considers it "a few squares arranged in a quiet way around a stand." His Flower ($900) proves he can do a welded screen...
