Both of TIME'S chief reporters for the cover story on Italy's Communist Leader Enrico Berlinguer are of Italian descent and in some measure "native." By this happenstance, they could both melt into the Italian ambiance and simultaneously keep the distancing perspective that they both have as U.S. citizens.

Some climatologists dispute whether there is, in fact, a cooling trend; they foresee instead a worldwide warming trend that could melt polar ice and raise the level of the oceans and possibly inundate coastal cities. But whatever their feelings about long-term trends, scientists generally agree that the world's climate is entering a period of more widely varying conditions that will make planning for agricultural production difficult. The experts are also worried about the impact of man-made pollution, which makes predictions based on historical weather cycles less reliable. "If humans interfere, we cannot say for sure that...

Angola today is a superpower war, that won't melt away just because one side denies the reality of its own colossal footprint in the mire. Fifteen thousand Cubans remain in Angola because the U.S. will take no initiative in pressing the Soviet Union for them to leave. And even America's left has been essentially indifferent to the real...
