Seduced and Abandoned Pietro Germi Germi's lunar eclipse of a dark comedy, which followed his Divorce Italian Style, suggests Preston Sturges run riot in Sicily. In this lunatic 1964 retooling of The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (unwanted pregnancy, frantic attempt to get the girl married, small town in an uproar), Botticelli-beautiful Stefania Sandrelli is Agnese, a lamb led to the slaughter of her ideals by a father, a family and a society that values honor (status) over honesty.

Morgan Stanley estimates global gdp will grow 4.7% this year. That's 40% faster than the 3.4% average gains in the pre-oil-shock years of 1979 and 1990. Strong growth provides an important cushion to ward off unexpected blows. At the same time, the so-called stewards of globalization - namely...
