Italy: President Elected, Red Brigades Resurrected
With the swift election of the new state president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi Italy's political class has given a rare and surprising example of efficiency and responsibility. The former prime minister, finance minister and central banker has been elected due to an agreement between the majority and the opposition. In the past Ciampi has always proved master of a new style of consensus policy and therefore his election has now grown new hopes for the long awaited Constitutional reforms. Before that, however, parties have to run the test of the European elections on June 13th, which could even jeopardize the government stability. Meanwhile in Rome the historic terrorist group "Red Brigades" has made an unexpected return, killing a high government official.

Democracy Italian Style: Party Talks Forever
After a nation-wide series of corruption scandals in 1992/93 and an electoral shift that replaced large part of the political class and parties in the following elections of 1994, Italian politics seems still all the same. Fifteen years of discussion and three inter-parliamentary commissions have produced - nothing but mountains of worthless paper. The Italian people and the European partners are still waiting for the long overdue reform of the Constitution of 1948, but parties won't agree, because they fear to lose part of their extra-large power extent. Thus the only institutional change in the last twenty years has been imposed by popular decision through referendum. But even this instrument has shown less successful, as a new referendum held in April was thwarted. Now Italian parties prepare to elect a new State President just the traditional way: let's talk about it!

Rafter's Resurgence
Patrick Rafter has emerged from a 5 month form slump to reach the final of the Super Nine event in Rome. Along the way he defeated Andre Agassi and clay-court expert Felix Mantilla, and came within just 1 match win of the world number 1 position. The following week, Rafter helped the Australian team win the World Team Cup, highlighted by singles wins over Pete Sampras and Thomas Enqvist. All of this on clay, supposedly Rafter's least favourite surface! This article will look at Rafter's resurgence, and examine the question of whether he has what it takes to be a worthy successor to Pete Sampras as a genuine world number 1.
