Dear young friends,
we have spoken about ,Easter,
and we have understood that
we are closer ,to God during
Lent.
We' have meditated ,in Holy
Week uniting ourselves to
the Passion of Christ. Today
we want to live our lives according to Christ, having a
clear vision into the future,
having a finishing line that
does not indicate the "end"
of a race, but 'in which each
stage prepares us to take
the duties in our lives more
seriously.
0,
Starting at, and beginning
immediately
after
Easter,
,'
what can we ,do? We must
bear in mind that which is
the true and only reality in
life. We have received Baptism
and in Baptism we receive
the life God has given us,
such as' the grace,> the goodness'" the peac'e and the joy,
as well
all those other
good things whi,ch' are of
God.
Is it possible, I ask mys~.If,
that all this can come from
us? One should be able to
see from the way we speak,
the way we discuss, through
meeting people, through study
and through work. This goodness should always be around
us in all that we do, and this
is' the true way of living.
That is why we feel a sense
'of deep satisfaction with~n
when we do good. Because It
is the life
of God which
is a
.
.
part of us, not forgetting
sacrifice
and sorrow.

In totale, sono state lanciate
otto versioni della Tipo (che,
in verita', assomiglia un po a
una Uno lunga) con tre motori a benzina (FIRE 1l08cc,
1372cc e 1580cc) insieme ad
uno diesel di 1697cc ed uno
turbodiesel (1929cc).
Una versione si chiama la

La tendenza alla diminuzione
delle cif re e' piu' che evidente, dal momento che quelle
del 1986 rappres'entano circa
il 60% di quelle del 1982' (un
po' menD per gli espatri e un
po' piu' peri rimpatriati).
Si tratta di una diminuzione
continua, che e' facile rilevare; se si fa uguale a 100 il
valore del 1982, si scende nel
1983 a 87 per gli espatriati
,
ea 95 per i rimpatriati, nel
1984 rispettivamente a 79 e
,
8~, nel 1985 a 68 e 73, nel
• 1986 a 59 e 61, con un ritmo
quasi c('~tante (intorno al 13%
annuo) per gii espatriati e
crescente (dal 5% in meno nel
1983 al 17% rispetto all' anno
precedente nel 1986) per i
dmpatriati. I paesi europei
assorbono circa i tre quarti del
movimento, ancne se la lora
percentuale sui totale e' leggermente diminuita, nel quinquennio preso in esame, dal
77% nel 1982 al 73% nel 1986,
mentre e' variata di poco per
gli espatriati (intorno al 77%).
In conseguenza d! cio' I' andamento del· relativo·' movimento
e' si mile a quello generale.
Oltre il 75% del movimento
migratorio con I'Europa - ~a
precisato ancora il dott. Lucrezio - interessa hi Germania
(44%) .e la Svizzera (intorno
aI 33%; le percentuali sono
praticamente 'ririlaste le stesse
nel quinquennio. Le' accluse
tabelle, 'frutto di elaborazioni
dell'UceLsu .dati .Istat, danno
un quadro'sintetico del movimento migratorio italiano nel
quinquennio 1982-1986.

Benedetti-SGB
Mentre si susseguivano i colpi
di scena nella battaglia apert.a
da Carlo De Ben'edetti per il
possesso della Societe Generale
de Belgique. l'AsSemblea ha
tenuto un dibattito d'urgenza sull'argomento, al termine
del quale ha approvato'una risoluzione comune presentata
dai gruppi PPE, liberale, ADE
e dai comunisti italiani (votata poi anche dal gruppo socia- .

THE BROWNING VERSION
and
HARLEQUINADE
by
Terence Rattigan
at the Royalty Theatre
I have seen these plays several
times always in the above order, Harlequinade each time
coming as rather an anticlimax. Here it is played first
as a curtain-raiser to The
Browning Version which contains much more depth and
substance.
"This production is the third
by the Royalty Theatre Company (the others being 'The
Importance of Being Ernest'
and 'The Living Room'). Each
play, runs for about six weeks
and the Company has attracted "an impressive list of patrons from the theatrical profession - Judi Dench is one
of the team of fO!Jr responsible for choice and casting
of plays.
•
Harlequinade concerns a theatrical
company
rehearsing
'Romeo and Juliet' just before
the opening night. Paul Eddington and Dorothy Tutin are
the aging lovers whose egotism and single-track minds
insulate them from all problems, even the revelation that
theirs is a bigomous marriage,
and that 'Romeo' has a married daughter and even - horror! - a grandson. The laughs
are well-placed by Rattigan,
and well-pointed by the cast,
if sometimes a little too obviously.
I(
Paul Eddington gives a polished
performance of a vague 'leading actor', more concerned
with the positioning of a plant
pot than rehearsing. Dorothy
Tutin easily establishes the
character of the ham actress
(though words went astray 'at
times). John Duttine as the
Stage-Manager is a whirlwind

sympathetically, particularly
towards the end when he gives
Crocker-Harris the strength
to face the future. Dorothy

woman desperate for any male

personality, one still finds a

Redgrave's famous role
out-acted by Eddington
Rattigan shows us Andrew
Crocker-Harris (Paul Eddington), a public sphool master
who, because of illness, is
having to retire, has been refused a pension, has missed
promotion to House Master
(much coveted by his ambitious wife - Dorothy Tutin),
is unpopular with staff and
boys and has had to live with
the knowledge of his wife's
unfaithfulness. In order to survive the yeais of teaching he
has constructed a barrier between himself and other people (to the extent that he is
labelled 'The Himmler of the
Lower Vth'). However, nothing
can undermine his one support
- his love of the classics,
and when Taplow, a 4th Former, gives him a leaving- pre-

gives the best portrayal of
the role I have ever seen. He

adept T.V. 'performer, or a
skilful interpreter of Alan
Aykbourn comedies. Eddington .
plays with absolute sensitivity. His tight gestures and
spare movement indicating the
repressed emotions. His unsmiling features and precise
speech show how successful
his well constructed barrier
has proved over the yea~s. He
carries the audience with him
all the way with a still, quiet,
dignified, very moving performance, which, I feel sure was
a revelation to most of the
audience.

First performed in 1862, not
in Italy, but in St.Petersburg
of all pll,lces, it came just
after "Un Ballo in Maschera"
and before "Don Carlos" and
"Aida" in the Verdi cannon.
It contains some of his most
haunting music. The famous
overture and the beautiful "La
Ve'rgine, degli Angeli!\ are
"among the highlights of this
work.,

The role of Leonora is one of
the most difficult to cast. It
calls for a true sprinto soprano
. 'with a full' sound able' to
reach up to'a,top 'B' flat, but
als? calls for a voice which
can corn mand a true pianissimo to do full' justice' to the
above mentioned aria.

Tebaldi.

better,

Verdi had written it for ·her.
The beauty of "La Vergine"is
seconded only to Rosa POl'lsell,e's, famous
r!lcording.
Praise mdeed! Dramatic fire
there is in plenty and "Pace"
is another' demonstration of
how a true Verdi line should
be sung. The dramatic role
of Alvaro is one of Mario Del
Monaco's' best on record.

On the eve of the challenge
for the most prestigious
title in boxing, the Italian
was still more laughed at
than feared. A whole host
of
nicknames
had
been
daubed upon him ranging
from 'Mountain Man' and.
'Vast
Venetian'
to the
less complimentary 'Ambling
Ape' and 'Satchel Feet'.
However,
on
the
June
night long ago, the U.S.
public,
not
to
mention
Mr. Sharkey, were in for a
big surprise. In Round 7
Camera landed a left hook
followed by a left uppercut .
to the chin and then another left hook.
If
Primo
thought
that
victory would, bring him
the respect he deserved 'he
was very much mistaken.
The authorities were far

pleased
that

Crown sl!ould pass to a, non.,.
._._---------
American and great objection was taken to Camera
staging his first title defence
in
Rome.
Hollywood
then stepped in and signed
Primo to star in a film
with Myrna' Loy, entitled
"Everywoman's Man'!. The
main role went to American
boxing idol, Max Baer. When
the script called for the two
of them to box with Camera
losing, the gentle Italian refused to co-operate and the
story was soon changed.
,
tually quit the ring.
Withing 90 seconds of the
start 'Maxie' had landed one
of his haymaking rights to
the apprehensive Italian's
face. Camera was flat' on
, his back. He got up, only" to
be floored' again at the end
of the first round.
.<
Baer was a hustler and
playboy, 'quickwitted with a
sharp sense of humour. He
missed no opportunity on the
film set of mockingtbe slower thinking Italian' who soon
developed an inferiority complex. As for boxing, Baer
relied almost exclusively on
a wild right hook which started off around his boots. Yet
he had never been stopped in
46 contest and was the offi..,
cial challenger for the Title.
The American was clear
favourite for the June 1934
fight, not only with the U.S.
public, but also with those
sages of sporting conflict,
the bookmaker.
He would not go down in
history as a great fighter
and nor would he enjoy
the customary financial· re:wards from having been
World
Champion
since
much of his money had
been
flinched
away
by
those around him. Primo
Camera was a simple man
with simple values.
He
never sought the li melight
and never deserved
the
abuse and 'maltreatment he
received. The're was something very, refreshing about
his attitUDe to 'life and
something,,' very sad about
the way
treated him.
Baer completely dominated
the ne>c t two rounds spurred
on by the crowds and his
continual mocking of Carnera, who he hit while he
was on' his hands and
knees. But the Italian did
not give up and by the
10th round it was' even
that
he
could
possible
sneak a points decision.
life
Baer sensed the danger
and after nearly two rounds
of . renewed
onslaught,
caught the Italian's chin
to settle the contest. It.
was perhaps ironic. that
the fight should end in the
11th ,round for that was
exactly the
number
of
times Camera had been
knocked down in the course
of the fight. In fact, he
was later to suffer a
similar thiashing at the
hands of Joe Louis and even-
He should not be remembered as 'Satchel Feet'
but as a Man among Men
- a 'Gentle Giant' with a
heart so big that he never
knew when he was beated
or· cheated. That is the
true
epitaph
to
Primo
Camera and is something
which the record books
can never tell you.

HAVE YOU READ IT
BIRDS
Nicobobinus by- Terry v jones
(Puffin Books Price £2.25)
Do you, sometimes leave some
food out for the birds? Fortunately for them there hasn't
been any snow this year because, as you know, when it's
very frosty or snowy, the
birds find it very difficult to
find food for themselves. You
can .help by putting odd scraps
of food out for them like
br,ead, peanuts and bacon rind.
If you have time, why don't
you make t.helJl' a bird cake.
This is an action-packed story
about a QOY called Nocobobi,..
nus and his friend Rosie. In
the story Nicobobinus has
part of his body turned to
gold and so he has to search

Whichever part of'Britain yQ,U
choose to go away to, you'll fmd a
'Trusthouse Forte hotel nearby.
In 'fact, there" are over 200
throughout Britain.
Some of them go all the way back
to 1460, while others date from 1987.
Some of them are old coaching
inns while others are large country
houses, Of course, the one thing they
all have in 'cOmmon is excellent
standards of food and accommodation.
So having tried one of our week·
end Leisure Breaks, you'll want to
come back and {ryall the other hotels
as well.
