...pappagalli in the past have failed, but now the Roman authorities are taking stern action. The police have assigned 100 special cops, operating in teams at tourist spots and equipped with walkie-talkies, to pinch the pinchers, whose sleights of hand may earn them up to six months in jail or $65 in fines.

Granting dropouts freedom to work at their own pace, smoke in class, or enter the educational project even after a pregnancy or a hitch in jail, the C.A.M. Academy has chalked up a better college admittance record than that of Chicago's public high schools. Of the 30 dropouts who were graduated at C.A.M. this spring, 20 will go on to college in September. "When they get here, they are all messed up," says Mary...
