...with his parents, who just want him to meet and fall in love with a nice Italian girl. After Angelo’s new apartment is robbed, he moves in with Nino, a childhood friend who, like Angelo, is gay. But tell their parents? Fugghedaboutit. Mambo Italiano is a mess. Where sexual orientation, ethnic and family issues should be addressed seriously, another joke is made to relieve the tension. The idea of a gay Italian-French-Canadian has a lot of comic potential; in the end, unfortunately, the director is too overwhelmed to stop making jokes and tell what could...
...government risked a legal mess by aiming for a politically popular conviction?

And Trimble, who's been hammered within the unionist camp for his previous deals with republicans, was derided by his many critics as a "pushover" for failing to penetrate I.R.A. secrecy. The only person to emerge stronger from the mess was Ian Paisley, the fiery, bluff leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, who loathes the peace process as a sellout. The Good Friday agreement was supposed to make Paisley, 77, yesterday's man; last week's antics may make him the power broker for a new administration and doom...
