...savaging of the country's lone great middle-of-the-road party-in art as well as life-has become almost a national political sport in mid-1970s Italy. If the Communists emerge from the June 20th parliamentary elections with a claim to national power, the fundamental cause will be the serious erosion of the Christian Democrats in the modern Italy that they very largely created. Today the party is maligned and ridiculed as never before-and from every corner of Italian society. Urban youths rail against it as sclerotic and establishmentarian. Women, swept up in a drive...
...hitta, or overall tie-dyeing. The word suggests rich hippies in blotchy homemade tank tops, but the Japanese craftsmen of the Edo period raised this system of knotting and immersion-dyeing to a most taxing pitch of subtlety.

...players and owners. Angell sympathizes with the former while realizing that the vast majority of fans are angrily reacting to "the view of the athlete as an employee and a card-carrying union man," which "violates our fan vision of the athlete as a mythic figure, a lone hero." The world of baseball is too much with us--it's not another world any more, an escape to childhood. But I think Angell's sadness will abate--along with the rest of the country's--in the green months of high summer, and that the successor to this wistful meandering...
