...Milan's interest in Beckham isn't new. Meanwhile, the team, owned by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, narrowly missed signing him before he committed to Los Angeles. And their interest in Beckham may not be simply for his ability to cross a ball from the right and bend a free kick: His global celebrity appeal has been proven to sell millions of replica jerseys all over the world for his previous European clubs, and signing him clearly had as much to do with marketing as with his skills...
...probably would not have guessed that from Time Magazine’s loaded title (“Was Milan Kundera a Communist Snitch?”), which overshadows the reasonably balanced content of its article.

You can also buy the program from...
...tough platform to battle crime and illegal immigration, the government dumped the Mitterrand amnesty as ethically suspect - to the great satisfaction of Italy. It was under that revised position that Petrella was arrested following a routine identity check in 2007, when police noticed that the original Italian warrant for her apprehension that had been reactivated in legal databases. To many in France - where sympathy with reformed leftist radicals is widespread - the right's welching of the Mitterrand amnesty left Petrella unfairly hanging out to dry. Some also claim a July-dated letter she wrote near death expressing regret...
