...thanks to a strategy that simply called for Italians to stay home. The measure attracted a voter turnout of 25.9%, far below the 50% required for a binding result. And he hasn't stopped there. Buoyed by the outcome, Ruini has used lectures, homilies and rare interviews to help squash talk of Italy following Spain's lead on gay marriage, has challenged the use of the abortion pill RU486, and has called on the state to use pro-life counselors to speak with women considering an abortion. "Cardinal Ruini has immense political capacity," says one well-placed Catholic observer...
...Harvard women’s squash team may have found the key to a national championship. Her name is Lily Lorentzen, and don’t let the “Class of 2009” tag fool you. While she’s new to college squash, Lorentzen brings ample experience from a year spent training and competing on the professional circuit. The Greenwich, Conn., native was accepted into Harvard a year ago, but deferred her enrollment to concentrate on squash. Now finally a member of the second-ranked Crimson, her presence at the top of the ladder...

...together a cluster of endive, a curved squash and two strips of greens, and what do you have? Why, a duck. How about a cauliflower, a black olive and four stems? A sheep. A pineapple half and chunks of green pepper? A turtle. Those are what you get in Freymann's antic, ingenious sculptures of fruits and vegetables. Some of his creations are scarcely altered. It's amazing how easily a sweet potato morphs into a guinea pig, or bok choy into a fish. Others are more elaborate, as when he shapes bananas into the heads of giraffes, then...
