...bill. "Even the sponsors don't understand it," charged Ways and Means Chairman Al Ullman in the midst of last week's nine-hour debate, which touched on all aspects of the U.S. economy. His committee's bill, he said, is a "strong response to a nation worried about inflation and a message to the middle-class families of this nation that they aren't forgotten...
...vote was also a setback for New York Republican Representative Jack Kemp, 43, who has staked his promising career on the issue of a sweeping 33% reduction in federal personal income taxes over a three-year period.

True, Americans have always been suckers for British humor, but there's a common cultural bond there; that bond is much weaker with regard to Italy. It is a strange and deeply troubled nation, small wonder then that its filmmakers should present such a dark vision. But while that vision might, possibly--just maybe--have some social significance, the flaws that pervade Viva Italia! make it hardly worthwhile, save for the hardiest Italophile. No one needs to offended, bored, and bewildered...
