...Parliamentary Affairs and a Buttiglione ally, says a "Taliban" mentality has consumed his opponents: "We haven't seen an attack against religious freedom like this since the end of World War II. It's a new witch hunt." One of the Vatican's most outspoken Cardinals, former U.N. emissary Renato Raffaele Martino, lashed out at what he called a "new Holy Inquisition" led by a "powerful cultural, economic and political lobby ? against all that is Christian...
...Interior Minister. More seasoned than his predecessor, Pisanu is a former Christian Democrat who helped build Berlusconi's Forza Italia into the country's largest party after the billionaire media mogul entered politics in 1994.

A raid on the home of his brother-in-law, Renato Waban, yielded an additional $773 billion in bonds. Mingoc swears Waban, who has since disappeared, asked him to stash the box. Police believe Waban, who flew from Cagayan de Oro to Manila twice a week, may have acted as go-between for the Mindanao forgers and the ringleaders, some of whom...
...McCarthy shame, graduate students were required to sign loyalty oaths when they applied for government grants. A dean at Harvard defended this practice as being merely pro forma--of no greater significance than licking the stamps on the application envelopes. At a faculty meeting, the great Italian scholar Renato Poggioli stood up and commented, "Mr. Dean, I am from Fascist Italy, and I will tell you something. First you licka the stamps, then you licka something else...
