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.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, 1884 -1962
All of us who look back on our childhoods have imperfect memories of them. Eleanor Roosevelt was no exception. The difference from most of us is that Eleanor published her memories, which are the only source of information available about her childhood. As James Kearney points out in his book, Eleanor makes contradictory statements about her childhood. "I was lonely as a little girl," vs. "I can never remember being lonely." "...The rigidity of my early bringing up," contrasted with "no one disturbed me [if] I...forgot to appear at meals." The contradiction of books that strangely disappeared when she started reading them and the statement, "I was brought up in a home that did not believe in censorship." And there are others. However, none of these contradictions detract from the main facts of the sad childhood of this fascinating lady--a lady whose life proved that a difficult childhood doesn't require a person to become a difficult adult.

Harry S. Truman (1884-1972)
Winston Churchill wrote to Harry Truman, "I must confess, sir. . . I loathed your taking the place of Franklin Roosevelt. I misjudged you badly. Since that time, you, more than any other man, have saved Western Civilization." The fact that many--even those who disagreed with Truman's politics--came to have similar admiration of Truman may be a result of his straighlaced childhood.
