...nothing else, the Italian way of government almost slavishly honors traditions. One is the prolongation of political crises to a degree that commands the awe, if not exactly the envy, of the rest of Europe. Another is an unfailing respect for the sacrosanct mid-August "Ferragosto" vacation, when millions of Italians, especially the politicians, seek a respite from the inconclusive politicking of Rome and leap to the seashore like cats onto tuna...

...emigration of Viet Nam's ethnic Chinese would continue, he said, but in a more "orderly" way.

But a more fundamental problem is the way judges, particularly older ones, perceive their role. By training and tradition they are judges, not administrators or managers.
