Italian authorities expect trouble from homegrown anarchist groups, like Ya Basta! (Enough Already!), a loosely organized network founded in 1996 and inspired by Mexico's Zapatista rebels. Ya Basta!'s members show up at European demos clad in white overalls to symbolize "the invisibility" of marginalized people, and while they claim not to engage in rock-hurling aggression, they don't condemn the use of violence. In 1998 Ya Basta! gave rise to a more expansive anarchist movement that calls itself Tutte Bianche (White Overalls) and draws its members from Italy's 200 "social centers"--communes where young radicals organize...
When Huggies hired the Discovery Group last year, Gilding and her crew spent 12 to 15 hours daily with first-time and experienced mothers.

At any rate, it's clear they have their reservations about being exposed to media scrutiny. The cover of White Blood Cells depicts a horde of black-clad attackers surrounding the two band members; open the CD case, and a second picture reveals the thugs to be paparazzi with cameras. "A lot of the lyrics are kind of paranoid," says Jack, of White Blood Cells. "It does kind of match all these figures coming...
