Angela Davis: Aiutiamo Obama a realizzare il cambiamento che ha promesso
E’ una sera fredda e ventosa mentre entriamo nell’Acadome dell’Alabama State University per assistere alla lecture di Angela Davis. “C’e’ bisogno di un movimento che spinga Obama a realizzare il cambiamento che ha promesso.”

From Luigi Barzini to Karl Rove (Oh, Vergogna America!)
Jerry Krase
This is the top shelf of one of the Italian and Italian-themed book cases in the office library I share with my wife now that she is also semi-retired. In the center are my 1977 Harper & Row Book Club Edition of "O America: When you and I were young" as well my 1964 eighth printing of "The Italians: A Full-Length Portrait featuring their Manners and Morals" by Luigi Barzini. In the interests of journalistic integrity I must admit that I rearranged them for this "Main Illustration" because they were actually on the left hand side of the shelf. I also moved Ignazio Silone's "Bread and Wine" as well as Carlo Levi's "Christ Stopped at Eboli" closer to Barzini and editorially placed Gay Talese's "Unto the Sons" and "Honor thy Father" further away. Finally, I left Pietro Di Donato's "Christ in Concrete" and my collection of Mario Puzo's books where they always sit on the shelf. As Luigi might say, "C'e una cosa italiana."
I was thinking about writing a blog about the work of Luigi Barzini and decided not to as I assumed there would be little of further value to say after the recent symposium about him held at the Casa Italiana of Columbia University then I made the mistake of reading another one of Karl Rove's contributions to the pages of The Wall Street Journal and decided that at least I ought to take his name in vain and continue my critique of what passes for journalism today.
