Ronald Reagan will not only be "chairman of the board" of the U.S. In a sense, he will lead a kind of multinational enterprise the likes of which this world has never imagined. From Tokyo to Turin, business executives who have helped fashion economies heavily dependent upon international trade gave their support to Reagan, not a few of them half jesting that they are so bound to the U.S. that they should be allowed to vote. Now they wait with hope and considerable caution for an executive reorganization in the "home office" in Washington that, with luck...
...conventional four hours. For lagniappe, the Romagnolis offer some interesting modifications of traditional formulas, such as leg of lamb with gin and lemon spaghetti. A handy companion book is Teresa Gilardi Candler's Vegetables the Italian Way (McGraw-Hill; $12.95). Candler, the daughter of a restaurant family in Turin, brings the U.S. a choice, non-cultist collection of vegetable recipes that include such rare surprises as artichoke bread, zucchini chocolate cake and artichokes with filets of sole...
...sprawling Fiat automobile plant in Turin hummed with activity last week after the end of a five-week strike in protest against 14,000 layoffs.

Fumed Vittorio Gorresio, a respected columnist for the Turin daily La Stampa: "Along comes Pope John Paul and tells us that we cannot even desire our own wives." To Gorresio, "Wojtyla" was "attempting to deny the claims of sex even within marriage." In Milan's usually staid Corriere della Sera, Giorgio Manganelli sought to have the lust laugh. Life is so hard for the adulterer, he wrote sarcastically: an endless round of cover-ups, tricks, juggling of the daily calendar, and the need to buy "useless and expensive presents" for two women at once. Now the Pope has removed...
...dreams and the drudgery going is the extraordinary task, and achievement, of Soleri. Though Soleri seems simple and humble, Arcosanti's "workshoppers," as his volunteers call themselves, regard him as a genius, evidently because of his preoccupation with things spiritual. When he first came to the U.S. from Turin 33 years ago, he was regarded as a builder with panache and promise. But he has had few commissions in three decades. "I have not been properly used," he insists. One Arcosanti worker says that Soleri is the only architect around today better known for what he has not built...
