...nuts in America, AgReserves, Inc., in Salt Lake City, is Mormon-owned. So are the Bonneville International Corp., the country's 14th largest radio chain, and the Beneficial Life Insurance Co., with assets of $1.6 billion. There are richer churches than the one based in Salt Lake City: Roman Catholic holdings dwarf Mormon wealth. But the Catholic Church has 45 times as many members. There is no major church in the U.S. as active as the Latter-day Saints in economic life, nor, per capita, as successful...
Reggio di Calabria, the southern Italian port city where Gianni Versace came of age, isn't the sort of place where enviably tasteful women nibble on lunch and devour the most recent issues of Vogue. A small city with a rich Greco-Roman heritage, it has become increasingly downtrodden during the past decades. Growing up there in the 1950s and '60s, Versace witnessed the miserable postwar poverty that filled the streets, but could find elegance in the turquoise Strait of Messina that lay just beyond them. His was a city where Calabrian Mafiosi thrived in all their cheap glamour...
ROME: Fifty-four years after a massacre in an Italian cave, two former Nazi S.S. officers have finally been found guilty. Former SS captain Erich Priebke, nearly 84, checked off the names of the 335 men and boys as they were led to slaughter. On Tuesday, a Roman court ordered him to serve five years of a 15-year term.

The two were convicted despite Italy's 30-year...
...syndicated series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, Fox this week launches Roar (Mondays, 9 p.m. ET), a show about a reluctant prince named Conor (Heath Ledger) who in 400 A.D. fought to save the last remaining Celtic land (what would become Ireland) from the nasty, enslaving Romans. Never mind that the Roman occupation of Britain was already crumbling by then and that it never extended to Ireland in the first place. Historical exactitude isn't something to be expected from a series with a prince who looks like Doogie Howser, and a Roman queen, Diana (Lisa Zane...
...victims, finding answers was less important than finding healing. "It seems like such a long time since I've had a hug," sighed Aurelie Becker of St. Petersburg, Florida, wearing a blouse that featured a photo of her smiling, Paris-bound teen-age daughter, Michele. FBI Director Louis Freeh, Roman Catholic Cardinal John O'Connor and New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani joined the families at the service. "I'll never forget the love you've all displayed and continue to display to each other," Giuliani told them. "All of us have learned many lessons from you, and the chief lesson...
