Italy in a Bad Mood(y's)

Judith Harris

Five words sum up Italy in this hot mid-summer, and not one is Italian. Here they are, in no particular order: spread, Moody's, Porcellum (a bastardized Latin word coined by the canny elder statesman of Italian political commentary Giovanni Sartori), and spending review.
