...several ancient tunes, such as Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, KC & the Sunshine Band's I'm Your Boogie Man and the Village People's Y.M.C.A. Are these the Winter Olympic Games or a disco inferno? It does make some sense. For this is a country particularly proud of Infernos. Indeed, after the thump-thump-thumping came a reading from the poet-prophet Dante, with the Italian actor Giorgio Albertazzi reciting an inspiring passage from The Divine Comedy. In it, Ulysses urges his aging and tired band of sailors to go on with him to search for new worlds...
...opening of the 20th winter Olympics in Torino was a proud moment for Italy. But when Italy's hockey team steps onto the ice at the Palasport Olimpico on Feb. 15, it will be a proud moment for Canada. That's where 10 of the Italian team's 23 players and three of its four coaches were born and raised. Many of the names on the Italian roster - try Carter Trevisani - sound like they belong to players on an Ontario farm team. Then again, the Italian squad is like a Canadian farm team.

Ordinarily an impressive actress, here Johansson seems more preoccupied with her clothing than with...
...this experiment its best results. The narrator relates giving up on her dreams of being “the greatest” and the listener can’t help but sympathize. Crossing country-blues with Lillith Fair angst, it create a sound of which Joni Michell would be proud. It goes downhill from there. “Living Proof” sounds like Jessica Simpson singing Sarah Vaughn: alright, if you don’t listen too hard, but ultimately devoid of artistry. “Love and Communication” gets a bit closer to her roots with...
...Writing about the campaign when it was all over, Richard Nixon admitted that there was "one incident?which, in retrospect, might have been avoided or at least better handled." Despite a civil rights record he was proud of, he did not have any comment on the case. Like John Kennedy, Nixon was desperately trying to figure out how to attract northern black voters without alienating southern white ones. And so he decided the best course was to say nothing...
