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...
...Kids have no sense of history; they think something was invented the first time they learned of it. So I can't say if another Jocko salutation - "Oo papa doo, and how da ya do?" - and his occasional ejaculation "Great googa-mooga!" were his inventions. Or maybe that was Jocko's WDAS colleague, Georgie Woods, the Man With the Goods (who lived about three blocks from me). But it sounded fresh and seductive to this kid. An evening with Jocko was like an all-night jam session: the records were the familiar choruses, and his patter was the inspired improv...

Naturally, he would be long gone when the mob returned with tar and feathers. In this life some things have changed. Snake oil is out; tax cuts are in. High energy prices got ya down? A tax cut will make the spike affordable. Might lose your job in the slowdown? A tax cut will turn this economy around and save your paycheck. That's the Bush pitch: tax cuts as a nostrum for everything...
...says Kidman, 33. "I did have a miscarriage, and I'm still coping with that." As for the divorce, "there are two kids involved, and the press is not the place to play it out ... I could have said, 'I'm not doing any press for this film. See ya later. I'm not coming out until I am completely healed.' But I don't know if that will ever happen." In hindsight, is it so surprising that the couple didn't last? She was only 23 when they married. Since then, she has tried to define herself...
