...back as the 13th century, Italian city-states guarded their cultural artifacts as carefully as they did their borders. Some 800 years later, in the unified nation that claims Michelangelo and Titian as part of its heritage, that legacy still has power. From masterpieces hanging in museums to precious works held in private collections - whose owners cannot so much as move a painting without official approval - almost all of Italy's treasures are jealously protected by the state. Culture, says Salvatore Settis, an Italian professor of art history and classical archaeology, "holds a historic memory that belongs to the citizens...
...That's one of the most frightening pictures ever to appear on your magazine," wrote a Massachusetts woman. A Texan called it "an image of Big Brother." But a North Carolina reader saw something quite different: "Rumsfeld's eyes in your portrait have the same look as those of Michelangelo's David.

Interestingly, at this point April disappears without a trace, and is replaced by Krang, one of the Ninja Turtles’ most hated archenemies. The homoerotic sequence that ensues is, then, a double taboo, exploring both the issues of male-male eroticism as well...
...TMNTijuana Bibles” is a classic tale of sex, betrayal and a voyeuristic boss who turns into a giant penis. I must admit that I’m kind of surprised at Michelangelo, however. I mean it’s OBVIOUS in the first movie that April has a thing for Raphael, not to mention that whole Casey Jones fiasco. I know Mike’s supposed to be “the party dude,” but he’s screwing two friends over. Well, I guess three if you count April. Also...
