...wonder well," says the school's founder Fiona Hamilton-Fairley. "Children deserve that information." Parents keen to equip their offspring with more extensive culinary skills might consider a sojourn in Italy. Since last summer, Fontana del Papa, tel: (39-0766) 93455; www.cookitaly.it, a family-run cooking school in Monti della Tolfa, an hour's drive north of Rome, has run courses for children. Husband-and-wife team Assuntina Antonacci and Claudio Pierotti teach bambini of all ages how to prepare traditional Italian fare, using the estate's organically grown herbs and vegetables.

...like Denmark or a new E.U. member like the Czech Republic would probably result in a second round of polling. In 1992, the Irish initially snubbed the Nice treaty that prepared the way for E.U. enlargement before approving a reworked version 16 months later. Former E.U. Competition Commissioner Mario Monti urges that in case of a rejection, the holdouts should be offered a final take-it-or-leave-it proposition.

Analysts say Alitalia's long-term survival requires further privatization and a merger with another major airline. But Alitalia is in no shape to merge. A Europe-based manager of a U.S. airline scoffs at Italy 's latest plan, which foresees layoffs...
...make its Windows PC operating system available to manufacturers and consumers in two versions: one with Media Player--Microsoft's proprietary video and music software--built in, as it is now, and one without it. The company is also likely to be fined, perhaps several billion dollars. Most significantly, Monti is expected to try to use the ruling to prevent Microsoft from pushing future products on consumers by "bundling" them with its operating system. Microsoft will survive the fine, but the crackdown will hurt, which is why the restrictions on bundling scuppered last-minute negotiations. "We were unable to agree...
