...citizens are eligible to vote, and only 3 percent of Bostonians actually do vote. But while the arguments for a limited franchise may seem self-evident in a Europe that is ridden with paupers, it is far less justifiable among the prosperous citizens of America. Indeed, the slogan "No taxation without representation" can reasonably be applied to American legislatures as well as to Parliament. And there are signs that an increasing number of people realize it. New Hampshire, which used to require ?50 worth of property, now demands only that every voter be a taxpayer, male, white and 21.

Giorgio Napolitano, vice-secretary of the PCI said recently: "We have changed our policy on NATO." (Previously the PCI slogan was "Italy out of NATO and NATO out of Italy.") "We see that keeping a military balance is essential . . . so we support the defense budget and favour continued Italian membership in NATO." Even apart from larger questions of morality, there is a petty irony in the communist position. Italy...
