...Italian I resent your review of Mussolini [June 7]. The cowed and incapacitated Italian army, navy and air force that you refer to made it possible for the U.S. Army to land practically undisturbed in Southern Italy. The minimal resistance of our troops actually helped the Americans chase the Nazis and what was left of the Fascists out of the country. The Italians by then supported neither group.

Fulfilling an agreement reached at Versailles, the Reagan Administration last week broke with its free-market doctrine, selling dollars in foreign...
Indeed, it can be said that without Tune "Nine"almost certainly would have been "Zero." Based on Federico Fellini's 1968 movie 8½, it is the story of an Italian film director who has sought refuge at a Venetian spa, where he is desperately trying to put together a film and at the same time make sense out of his disorderly life.
