...mile shoreline is polluted by oil spills and industrial wastes, plus the vinyl bags in which Italians wrap their garbage and then blithely dump it, littering the land and the once lovely beaches. Moreover, 80% of Italy's coastal cities have no sewage-treatment facilities. Even Milan, Italy's second largest city, has no such plant. Most wastes-industrial as well as human-are simply dumped into local rivers, which then strew filth into the Adriatic Sea. Flowing southeast from industrial Turin, the River Po alone dirties the Adriatic with effluents equivalent to those of more than...

Auto fumes have already reached dangerous levels, partly because Italian automakers, like other European automakers, are not yet required to install emission controls. Last month the sulfur-dioxide reading in Milan hit more than two parts per million. In London in 1952, a level of 1.34 p.p.m. caused 4,000 deaths...
...DISCREDITED ideology and an obdurate religious feud produced violence in two European countries last week.

...Milan was colder than Moscow, and Madrid turned into a skating rink, with first-aid stations set up to treat all the broken bones. A village in France's Lozère region shivered in the coldest temperatures ever recorded in the country -29.2° below zero Fahrenheit. Holiday skiers in the Swiss Alps found little joy in temperatures that reached -13° F. In Venice's Piazza San Marco, where makeshift bridges were set up two weeks ago so that pedestrians could negotiate the tide-flooded square, children skied and tossed snowballs. While Scandinavia was unseasonably warm...
