Seldom have I read a more disappointing interview than the one given by Baroness Ashton [March 8]. In it she seems unable to address issues of substance. She seems wishy-washy not only on European foreign policy objectives, but also on her duties. Witness her platitudes such as "my job is to keep traffic moving" and "my job is to move the policy on.

Earlier this month, however, RAI suspended all of its political talk programming until regional elections are held on March 28, citing a need to maintain its political balance. This time, Santoro decided that his show, Annozero, would go on. He filmed a live version of his program Thursday that was streamed online and broadcast through local and satellite television feeds. "For us, the most important thing is that people watch...
