Volunteers and donations have flooded in; so too have prayers from the Pope and countless local priests. Partisan bickering back in Rome has all but ceased. Even the newspapers that scream their Page One headlines with every Silvio Berlusconi faux pas chose to ignore a gaffe the Prime Minister made in the midst of the tragedy, when he told German TV that those forced...
