...Milan, Dionigi Tettamanzi. His transfer a year ago from the helm of the Genoa Archdiocese to the world's largest one, in Milan, was akin to winning a party's nomination. "He's a natural candidate," says longtime Vatican watcher Luigi Accattoli of Italy's leading daily Corriere della Sera. Tettamanzi, 69, stands out in the pack because he is favored by the Italian Cardinals, who are eager to take back the papacy...

Ferruccio De Bortoli cited personal reasons when he stepped down from Corriere della Sera, Italy's newspaper of record. But many detected the hand of Silvio Berlusconi. It was no secret the Prime Minister wanted a change at Corriere, which has exhaustively covered the criminal bribery case against him. There's no direct evidence linking Berlusconi to the ouster, but the left-leaning daily La Repubblica...
...expect all of them to have equal pedagogical skills. Harvard needs money, and thus must on occasion bite the bullet and accept sub-par students whose names coincide with those on its buildings. Some things just are the way they are. C’est la vie. Que sera, sera...
