Due ParoleCariAmici,

. Padre Roberto Russo .

Questo e' il primo numero diBACKHILL in quest'anno nuovo1995: e quindi vi parlo come se fosseilprimo giomo dell'anno.

II 1994' e' passato, ma nel nostro.cuore, nel nostro animo e' rimastatutta, I'esperienia di un anno: noiportiamo'le gioie e i dolori che sonodiventati la nostra vita, sono (jiventati,la nostra vita 'nel nome di Dio, nelnome di' Dio Padre.in .cui 'Viviamo:perehe' la 'nostra vita, la storia dellanostra vita si muove tutta nella storiaehe Dio ci ha dato: noi, con ilbattesimo. Siaino entiati nella vitadella Chiesa e portiamo avanti'la vitadella Chiesa: senza paura, Ina anzicon tatiio- ciiragg;o' perche' abbiamo laParola di Dio che entra proprio nellanostfa vita, che e' la nostra 'vita: equesta Parola di Dio si allarga'ancoradi piu' nei salmi responsoriali dellamessa. Sembra proprio che il SignoreIddio ci voglia' accompagnare asentire la fona del Vangelo che ci haaccompagnato durante lefeste delNatale.

Vedete, nel Vangelo, proprio leprime parole che sentiamo sonoquel.le che riguard:mo i pastori:

Lord, it's aboutlove. That word,that wonderful fourletter word. Didyou ever realisethat it would holdso much power?Have so manymeanings? Can wejust think about itfor a moment,Lord? Because Ihave to admit that Ifind it all rathereonfusing. Love:.'vhat is it, Lord?What does it mean?For it's used in so many differentways, eaeh one almost contradicitngthe others. How many people say. "Ilove" without realising the full poiential of that word? For example, Lord,

"andarono senza indugio", subito,andarono a trovare un bambino avvolto in fasci:, nella niangiatoia.

Ma sapete che cosa erano i pastoriai tempi di Gesu'? Erano pcrsoneestrcmamente ignoranti, ma .nonimporta. GIi Angeli nel nome di Dio,danno ,un incarico a questi pastori,danno loro un impcgno nella vila, unavocazione nella vita: andare a trovareGesu, ed annunciarlo nel mondo. Cio'che 'i pastori fanno di corsa, scnzaindugio. Noi forse, umanamente par.Imido siaino meglio dei pastori,perche' abbiamo avulo una educazione, ed anche noi ogni Natale siamochiamati da Dio a visitare Gesu' nelPresepio, nella Messa, nella Comunione. Siamo chiamali ad annunnciarlo

,agli uomini, ai nostri fralelli. E'quello che e" proprio I'idea di SanVincerizo Pallotti, fondalore di questaChiesa; E' la pace ehe noi dobbiamoannunciare, la pacedi Dio, quellapace;che Gesu' ci ha portato, che noiabbiam'o" nel cuore. Per questo ilprimo 'giomo dell'a1ino comincia conla benCdizione dell:i Madonna, con ilcuore della Madonna,' con I'amoredella Madonna. E' it. cuore di una

I love chocolateand I also lovemusic, I loveyoul You sce? Iuse the sameword but to meansomething different· each timer Iean hardly compare my love ofchocolate withthe love I havefor my family!And then also,Lord, I can thinkof other situationswhan "I love

you" is whispered into a loved onc'sear, or you· "make love" with yourpartner. (Now there's an interestingthought, Lord!). How ,do you makelove? Are there special ingredients?

Mamma, della Mamma che ei ha datoGesu', della Mamma che ci fa viverela benedizione che Dio ei ha dalo atprincipio dell'anno. La Madonna daoggi e per tutto I'anno avra' unaimportanza ancora piu' grande diquella che ha e con Lei tutte lemarmite 'e tutte le donne: giovani evccchie, sposate 0 non sposate, povereo ricche, perche' le Nazioni Unilehanno proclamato quest'anno comeI'Anno della Donna. E' I'anno delladonna portatrice di pace: questa e' lamissione a eui Dio chiama la donna inquesto anno. Questa e' la missione acui Dio chiama tutti noi inquest'anno: a portare la pace primanei nostri cuori e poi nel mondo,insieme alia donna. Dio Padre, laMadonna, Gesu' e i suoi Angeli ciaiuteranno.

"Leave for I - 2 hours in the oven,until brown on top"! Quite humorousdon't you think, Lord? But maybe notso far from the truth.

You know Lord, I think there arespecial ingredients that make for reallove. Remember that pass.'ge from theBible, Lord? (Corinthians 13:4-7).The ingredients of love. A long recipefor such a small wordl But just a finalrequest, Lord, teach me to love. Tolove the way you love each and everyone of us, no matter what we do. Andabove all, Lord, help me to love you.

Messaggio del Presidente ScalfaroIn occasione dcll'inizio di un nuovo anno il Presidente della Repubblica, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro

ha voluto inviare questo suo consueto messaggio a tuUi gli italiani residenti all'estero.

"Abbiamo uin corso una erisi di govemo"

'''Buon anno a tutti e a ciascunolE' it buon anno dell'Italia ai suoi figliin terre lontane, a ehi ormai e'cittadino in altrapatria, ma non ha.,mai dimenticato laPatria dei propriavi, deUe proprieorigini, deUa propria storia; cd e' itbuon anno a chi e'lontano da tempopiu' breve e forseaneora non ambien·lato, con piu' vivoit richiamo e la nos·talgia deUa propriaterra.

Siamo ancora inmomenti di grandepassaggio, ma determinati a lottareper it bene deUaComunita' nazion·ale. So che gliavvenimenti chehanno caratteriZz.1tola vita politiea esociale dell'Ualianell'al\no chc volgeal termine sono st.1tiseguiti sempre congrande interesse eviva partccipazionedalle Comunita'Italiane all'estero.Non scmpre questiavvenimenti sonostati di facite lettura. Pero' due cosedesidero sottolin·e.1re con grande chiarezza: in primaluogo, che la democrazia it.'lliana hadato prova di essere vi talc e saldamente radicata neUa coseienza deicittadini;, in secondo luogo, che, concoraggio e tenacia, it nostro pacsc hasaputo continuare suUa via deUaripresa iI conseguimento di nuovi epiu' importanti traguardi di progressocconomico e civile.

AI raggiungimento di questi tra·guardi contribuiranno ccrtamente, coniI tradizionale sentimento, le Comunita' italiane all'estero. L'Italia ha bi·sogno dell'esperienza di questaComunita', che si sono arricchitedeUe culture dei Paesi di accoglienza

e che hanno sempre dato prova dicoraggio e di ottimismo e di straoidi·naria capacita' nel fronteggiare e

superare gli OSlacoli, anche i piu"ardui. Con sincera ammirazione hoavuto personalmente modo di apprez·zare queste grandi qualita' nelle lanteoccasioni di incontro e di dialogo neimiei viaggi all'estero.

So che nel corso dell'anno sonostate avviate iniziative nei selloridella promozione culturale, dell'infor.mazione e della tUlela sociale. U mioauspicio e' che quesle possano essereapprofondite e portate a buon fine nelpiu' breve tempo possibile. In particolare it rceupero dei legami con lanostra lingua e la nostra cultum, e lamigliore conosccnza della realta' del·I'ltalia di oggi, non potranno che

favorire it desiderio !!ella riscopertadel mantenimento delle proprie radicianche da parte di chi, pur avendo

origini italiane, sia stato impossibilitato ad avere diretti rapporticon it nostro' pacsc.

Penso in particolare ai giovanidi terza generazione e oltre, ehenei racconli familiari, nel dialog·are con gli aDziani, nelle letture diIibri di storia 0 di letteraturanazionale 0 locale, hanno raccoltonolizie e fatti e episodi che au·menlano in loro it desiderio diconosccre direltamcnte e,piu' am·piamente i luoghi, gli ambienli dilavoro, le tradizioni, la vita insomma della ge!!t"- da cui proven·gono, e che rapprcscnta quelleradici umane vive e verc che sonoparte essenziale della propria esistenza.• Anche per queste ragioni desi·

dero rivolgere un augurio partico·lare ai giovani, nati e eresciutiall'estero, ai quali chicdo di man·tenere sempre vivi e profondi ilegami con la Madre patria, e diessere coscienti cd orgogliosi delproprio patrimonio eulturale. Essisvolgono un molo insostituibileper la valorizzazione dell'immag'ine dell'Italia nel mondo.

Abbiamo in corso una crisi digoverno; e' certo un tempo nonfacile, ma sono anche questi,episodi di vita democratica chevanno affrontati con impegno eserenita'" con spirito di servizio.Questo spirito di servizio ei ri·corda che iI nostro lavoro deve

avere come fine sempre e soltantoI'interesse generale.

Di questo impegno, con I'aiuto diDio, desidero darvi certezza; e prendocscmpio dal vostro impegno quotidi·ano, dal vostro sacrificio, dal vostrocomportamento ehe tanto prestigioapporta alia nostra Patria. Grazie,dunque, per quello che fate e perquello che siete, e buon anno a tutti ein particolare a chi ha qualche ragionedi reoceupazione, di incertezza, disofTerenza.

Auguri, dunque, con tutto it cu·orc.'"

Young Criminals SirJohn Smith

Following an examination in t!le last e,dition,of.BACKHILL, of the situation in the United States,Sir John turns his attention to this country - .

this is the second in a series of extracts taken from a speech given recently entitled "Young Criminals"

Our young criminals are gelling younge~.

The UK Situation

The neW union of western andeaStern Europe'has broken do\vu fronticrs and' we 'are, now 'secingtheiIIcgal' importation"of firearms into theUK from former '-'iron::ctirtilinH cou",:.tries. Wc should n'9t, be, complacent about these develop~,

ments - they bring us closerto the,present situation in theUnited, States. The youngcriminals here in Britain thatparticularly ,conecmine, 'may,in the'near future, have manymore' opportunities to obtain.firearms.

We are already seeingmore firc.1rms bcing used forcrime in tlie UK - cspCCiallydrug related crime. And juvenile crimc is increasingly becoming a major problem inour society. Our youngcriminals are getting youngerand more involved in seriousand violent criminal activity.

I havc' read reports in Britishnewspapcrs - as I am surc many ofyou have - of playground junkies,

_.street wars between rival teenage. gangs, anarchic' and violent pupils in

schools, thc use of mountain bikes byyoung drug-runners, one-boy crimewaves and' uncontrolable tearawaychildren. All apparently happening inBritain. And though - no doubt likeyou - I do not believe everything Iread in the papers, I have to say thereis some truth in those reports. It is afact ,that youth crime in the UKaccounts for almost half'of all crimcsrcsulting in 'a conviction or formaleautioning. And ·that young peoplenow have a highcr offcnding rate thanany othcr age group,.with boys aged.17 to 20 having the highest rale of all.

It is also the ease that whileviolence against the person aeeountsfor only 15% of rccorded crime byyoung offcnders, .the' ten to 21 agegroup as a whole commits around40% of all recorded violcnt crimcs.

One in four males has a criminalconviction by the age of 25.

It is a fact that almost everyschool in Britain iS'affeeted by drugsand that not even primary schools aredrug-free. Drugs are easily availabletoday to young· children and tcenagersalike and we would be' foolish to

think that their use by young people isanything but widesprc.1d. Drug agencies are dealing with abuse victims asyoung as tcn years old, arid in onecase as young as seven.

I wish the new govcrnmcnt initiative of '''Tackling Drugs Together"every success in combaling the problem, though my background and experience in dealing with drug crimeleavcs me in no doubt that enormousand continuing commitment, with appropriate rcsources, will be necessaryif we are to slow down thi: progress ofthis contemporary plague,

There are teenage gangs on somecorners of Britain's inner city streets,and, their members have, used bikesand, firearms in their criminal anddrug-dc.1ling endeavours, Deprived areas of London, Manchester, Bristol,Glasgow and Edinburgh can all layclaim to such an unwelcome boast. Ahigh percentage of street crime is nowcommitted by gangs !lnd nearly aquarter of gang members are carrying

knives. Violence is increasingly beingused by a hard core of teenageoffenders. - '

Teachers are alarmed at growingclassroom indiscipline, violence andaggression. And they are worried thatpupils are becoming more disruptiveat an earlier age; Assaults on teachers

are occurring more frequently in schools at allage levels and suspensions and expulsionsfrom primary schoolshave increased by 20%in 1993 alone.

The trend of increased youth crime andviolence has spreadthrough Western Europeas well. The Nctherlands; Italy, France andSweden have all seen agrowth in the numberand severity of crimescommitted by juvenilesand children. It cannot,therefore, be denied thatjuvenile crime is one of

ihe more. serious problems our societyhas to face. And it must be confronted, tackled and stopped fromdeveloping further.

1 believe we can do this if westudy the factors that lie behindcriminal behaviour. Many of today'syoung, violent offenders will growinto tomorrow's adult, violent offenders. Sadly; in common with Amcrica,we in the UK have not been withoutour own deplorable and violent actscommitted by children. The death ofliltle Jamic Bulger almost .two yearsago shocked the whole nation. Theprcmeditated abduction and brutalmurdcr of thc small toddler by two10-year-old boys will never be forgottcn. Such cvents are thankfully ex-trcmely rare in this country. .' ,

Very few young people aged between ten and 17 have been convictedof murder. But \vc should not becomplacent on the basis of such

Another Christmas and New Yearhave passed. I hoPe that you' enjoyedit as much as I did, apart from .theinterminable cold that seemed to invade almost evel)' home during theholiday. ' :

I've been busY"for'lhe pasf.monthswith my Music' and Drama. grouprehearsing a revival of my play'Down: the"iII'.1 know that many ofour faithful readers saw the play 7years. ago when it was performed at'Kingsway College' (Grays.lnn Road,EC1). I've, had, 'many requests for arepeat and peOple 'who misSeiUt thefirst time around have been,asking ifand when, it \you!d be repeated, hercis the" opportunity for cx- hill residents and'~cir offsPring to come',andjoin ·us on ·a nostalgic trip backthrough the years into the mid 1930's.The play will be 'performed on Mareh22-25 1995, keep. one these nightsfree and look out for the posters.

Here is the conclusion of Francesco Lurati's stOI)" These are excerptsfrom the daily di3l)' kept by Francesco in the course of his internment inthe years 1940 - 1944, W.W.2.

'La Mia Guerra'Sunday 9th June 1940 Festa Delle

Quarant'ore al)a Chiesa di'San Pietro'.Delfina 'who was to becomc my wifc,had come from Stonclcigh to meet mcfor 'the elevcn o'clo.:k masS. I servedon the altar and latcr we went over to'The Mitre' a little 16th centul)' pub,just off Hatton Gardcn. We spent ahappy day at her home. As I reluctantly left her torctum to London onthe last train to Waterloo, I neverdreamt that there would follow suchalong and bitter separation. I wasoptimistic, she less so.

Tuesday, 11th June. I was at myplace of work, (a job' advertised in theCatholic Times for the "sons ofCatholic Gcntlemen to train as buyersin a ladies fashion house"). Asked tocome to the manager's office for afew moments, I found two strangerswho handed me a paper. I was under,arrest. A letter, written in Italian, byDelfina arid found in my pocket as'they searched roe, became. vital evidence against me. I was taken home,where three'other men had searehedthe Iiouse, thence crushed into a earwiii. a total of five hefty plain clothes

police. I was taken to Upper Street,Police Station. Later that evening toBrixton Prison, where I was questioned as to my criminal past, bungedinto a smelly; dirty reception cell.Called out to join a queue of otherurifortu~tes - friendS and aquaintances.

After being stripped and searchedwe' were led to cells !n F Wing. Keysrattled, cell doors slammed. Nextmorning what an amusing; thoughU1iplcasant scene to see men and boysof all social ranks trotting up anddown carl)'ing with half averted eyes,their new 'insignia officii' ... a brimming chamber pot. We were lockedup for 22 hours a day, we wereharangued by the. chief officer .. nowhistling, no singing, no anything.We would bC allowed 2 letters a weekand a sheet of paper on which tomake our 'appeal'. I was so politically'au fait' that I made my 'appeal'against regulation BB, consideringmy situation an appropriate number, Itshould of.course have been 188. Theregulation that put ,'Habeus Corpus'on ice, and allowed the government todetain anyone for more than 15 dayswithout charge or trial.

On friday we were taken, to the~rison Chapel, bristling with screws,to hear Mass. There were manyshoulders shaking with silent sobs asfamiliar hymns were intoned.

I received a welcome visit frommy parents - told them to urgeDelfina to tl)' to get a visiting pass.We began to settle ,down, even here.However, this was short lived. OnSaturday morning we were awakenedby a beating on the cell doors andcries of "Get up - you're going out".Vans awaited us outside the prison - Ihad hoped to drop a hastily scribblednote to my family - not a dog'schance - more police than prisoners.We entrained at Euston and eventually discovered that we were boundfor Liverpool, and landed in WaltonJail! Ten times more menacing thanBrixton, there followed the usualinitiation strip search, "medical exam"· (Down, with trousers up withshirt), through crashing doors andgates to B Wing, which had beenuninhabited for 20 years - dust andfilth everwhere. My turn came, Cell

B3.11. (B Wing, Landing 3, Cell 11).The door shut with a 'slam' thatnearly blew my brains out. I threwmyself on the mattress head in awhirl. I made ail effort, jumped upand started to walk up and,down - adistance ,of 6 paces, reciting 'TheRosary' on my fingers, praying tohave the courage to cope with thisturn of events. For ten days we wereleft with nothing but the clothes wewore - riot even a piece of soap Withwhich to wash. I did my best to washand clean my abode with a piece ofsacking and a bucket of cold water -the food was foul. '

31st July '41, on the move again this time to Camp, 007, Ascot Berkshire, at least it was in the open airthe camp had been the winter quartersfor 'Bertram Mills Circus Animals',we were a poor substitute for NobleLions and Majestic Elephants. I wasamong the last to be allocated accomodation, no room left in the Confines Barracks. I was in a belltentwith Toni, Molinari a (Banker),Avocato De Reya and half a dozenother youngsters. Rations, vel)' meagre, were issued to be cooked byourselves in the kitchens - I used togo to the kitchen window for theC<1bbage water in which floated various, well cooked insects, adding' tothe protein. Salted herrings figuredlargely in the diet-uneatable. Eventually a liltle priest came' to say Mass,at our outside altar made of benchescovered over with blankets. Poor littleman, he was quite nervous to startwith - thought we were going to eathim! We could have done with an"extra bit of meat. However when hegot to know us he relaxed. We askedpermission to have confession ofCaptain Petrie, he replied "I don'tcare if you petition the Pope - we'renot interested". He had to give ineventually and apologised for theirreverant remark.

19th Sept' 1940 My 21st Birthday- but they didn't give me the key tothe gates. 151h Cct 1940 - Wednesday- My 'Tribunal', a farce, three grimfaced men sat in judgement. The firstthing I noticed was that, The Chairman, Sir Roland Campbell K.C. Had atuft of hair on the top of his nose. Mycrime: I had joined the Fascio at the

The next day fora quarter of an hour- I had a visit frommy darling Delfina,hours of journeyingfor a fleeting 15minutes!

28th Oct 1941.On the move againto Camp 003, YorkRacecourse. Billeted under the Grandstand; water dripping down the walls,turning to ice and frost as winter drewon. One cold tap - two buckets behinda partition to pander to our bodilyneeds. 40 men \vere locked up in thisroom from 16.00 hrs until 08.00 hrs.

Chi consumaprodotti contaminati e' coJpito' davomito e diarrca, che in' gencralespariscono dopo uno 0 due giomi, mase la quanti ta' di germi e' troppoelevata (come e' stato constlitato nel25% dei campiOlli csaminati), I'avvelenamento puo' provocarc la mortedei 'soggelli piu' deboli, come ibambinio' gli anziani.

In tre'Stati membri la siiuazione e"apparsa particolarmente prcoccupante:in Danimarca, inPortogallo e, inGran Bretagna. Ma,e' stata scopertacame cont.~minata

in tutti gli Statimembri.

La prcsenza diballeri' e' caus:itadalla mancariza diigene nella catenadfproduzioneo ditrasformazione dei Palli. I grandiallevamenti che contengono decine edecine di migliaia di polli, come tuttii sistemi intensivi di allevamento,favoriscono la trasmissione di germi emalallie. L'infczione si puo' trasmettere allraverso I'acqua, gli cscrementio i topi. Ma puo' avvenirc anche .11momento del trasporto verso' it rna-,cello, .11 momenlo della macellazione,durante 10 stoccaggio 0 nei' banchifrigo dei'superrnercati.

0.111° gennaio 1994, viene applicata una "Iegge europea" sulle zoonosi (malallie 0 infczioni che possonocssere trasmcsse' dall'animale .11I'uomo), ehe stabilisce la distruzionedegli animali infelli e impone unamaggior sorveglianza negli allevamenli per evit.~re it cont.~gio. Ladirelliva, tUllavia, non e' stata tras-

posta correttamente in tutti gli, Staiimembri. La Svczia e la Norvegiahanno invecc dimostrato come severemisure di controllo pOssano dare 'risultati speltacolari: in ncsssuno deicampioni csaminati in' qucsti duepacsi, infatti, sono state trovate tracccdi salmonella. '

La trasportazione della direttiva daparte degli Stati membri dovrebbepermellere di migliorarc rapidamentela situazione, ma it BEUC raccomanda ugualmente agli Stati membri'di informare i consumatori per aiutarlia tutelarsi meglio. Se' ben Collo,infatti, it polio non contiene piu'balleri e non e' piu" pericoloso.Qualehe misura elementare d'igenedurante la manipolazione del poliocrudo bastano ad evitare I'avvelenamento. Si consiglia di mellerc it,pollonella parte piu' fredda del frigorifero,non in cont.~lIo con aUri alimenti, dilavarsi accuratamente le mani (e leunghie) dopo aver toccato pollamecrudo e di lavare bene glf utensili chene sono entrati in 'contallo.

news from Italy

Uffizi delay: The Uffizi Gallery inFlorence - severely damaged in abomb attack that killed five people"and injured 50 last year - will notreopen fully until December. _Director Anna Maria Petrioli said thebombing, which police have blamedon the Mafia, had caused moredamage to artworks than firstthought.After the attack three works werethought to have been destroyed and30 damaged. But Petrioli said at least150 paintings and .50 seulptures hadbeen hit.The Uffizi, home to the world's mostprecious collection of Renaissanceart, was closed after the attack. Pansof it were rcopened a month laterfollowing restoration work.-

Soccer: Colombian soccer starFaustino Asprilla has denied reportsthat police found him drunk in a barcarrying two guns and provokingother customers during a recent triphome. "The only guns I've ever hadare water pistols", Asprilla said afterreturning to Italian club Parma; "1spent a quiet New Year with friendsand family," added the striker, whohas started training again with theItalian league leaders. He added:"They always write a load of rubbishabout me in Colombia."

Costly care: RatTaele Costa, thethen health minister, declared themain hospital on the island of Capri"a monument to the waste of publicmoney".More than 100 doctors and nurses areemployed at the Capilupi hospital tolook after just ten patients, each oneof which is estimated to cost theItalian state around 240 million lireper day. Seven surgeons and thrceanaesthetists go on duly just onceevery four days."It is true that the hospital cannot beclosed because it serves the island's16,000 inhabitants and even moretourists, but it is also true that drasticcuts have to be made," said Costa.

Former socialistpremier Bettino Craxiwas sentenced in absentia to five and a halfyears in jail for corruption.

He was convicled ina scandal in which theinsurance company -SAlpaid bribes to win acontract to insure employees of the stateowned ENl energygroup. The sentence wason top of an eight-anda-half year term imposed on Craxi inanother corruption case.

The court, which sentenced elevenother former officials on similarcharges also banned Craxi from holding public office. Craxi is living inTunisia and claims to be too ill toreturn to face charges.

He reniains under investigation onother corruption charges involvingalleged illegal kickbacks and allegedmisuse of overseas aid.

Venice: Massimo Caceiari, mayor ofVenice, appealed to the llalian government for extra funds to save thecrumbling and sinking city. Caceiarisaid restoration projects would haveto be halted and no new work couldbe ordered without more money. Theappeal comes at a critical time for thegovernment of Prime Minister SilvioBerlusconi, whose 1995 austeritybudget faces a tough battle in theSenate. City officials say Venice hassunk 23cm in the past centuiy.

Prisoners plea: Former healthminister Francesco de Lorenzo hascomplained of deep depression afternearly seven months in jail.De Lorenzo, caught in the tangentopoli scandal that brought Italy's oldguard to its knees, is accused ofplundering huge sums of governmentmoney that should have been used totreat the sick. He has been in Naples'Poggioreale prison since May andwent on trial on 13 December on 97counts.

Rome: A .millennium plan to add askyScraper to the capital's domedskyline has met with widesPread hostility. The city's mayor, FranccscoRutelli, said: "A great city such asRome has to aim high to leave behindits mediocre recent past."But Vittorio Sgatbi, president of theparliamentary cultural commission,said: "Rutelli should be· .worryingabout our catacombs, not skyserapers."Rutelli hopes that the proposed development could eventually house government ministries now occupyingBaroque palaces.

GIVING TO CHARITY Richard Si/via

C;:harities ,exist to provide assistance to certain groups of people (e.g.the! blind, disabled, old people) or topromote specific causes (e.g. protecting~t.lie enVironment, animal welfare,community care, education or medicaland'scientific research). Each charitywil\'raise funds to support the work itdoc"s' and is treated Iiy the InlandRevenue as a tax excmpt body. .

, A large proportion of moneygiven :to charity. tends to be paid outof 11 person's inCome ,that haspreviously.' been taXed: Given the taxexemptions that a charity enjoys,there are ways, 'of giving which,assuming that the' donor is liable toincome tax,. ,will boost. the amount ofthe'· contribution made at no additional'cost, to the person making the donation. 'It is possible, for example, for aperson who 'pays InCome Tax aLtheBasic Rate of .25% to donate, say,£75.00. As this i:Ionation' has beenmade out of income that was previously taxed, the Inland, Revenue per"mits, the ,charity ,to reclaim the taxdeducted in the sum of £25.00. Therefore, whereas the net cost to thepersOn giving the donation is £75.00,the charity is able to receive a total of£100.00: This' has "the effect ,of increasing' the amount of the original'donation by 33% - simply by takingadvantage of the tax exempt statusthat a charity enjoysI The net cost toa donor who pays Higher Rate Income Tax will be lower at £60.00, asadditioniII tax relief is available.

There are tax efficient contributionschemes 'that cim be used if you wishto ','make regular Contributions' fromyotir'incOme:-I, PAYROLL DEDUcrION/GIVEAS YOU EARN SCHEME: this is away that you can give to charity fromyour \Vages and get tax relief on yourpayments.The contribution will begiven;, to an agency that administersthe sCheme who will, in turn, pass iton to, the designated charity whichyou, wish to, benefit. The maximumamount that can be given in this way.in any taX yearfis £900.00 per'imnumor £75.00'per month. Your employerwill,deduct the money from your,paybefore your income tax is calculated so that you will only pay tax on theamount left in your pay after ,the gifthas been deducted. '

2. A CHARITABLE DEED OFCOVENANT: is, in effect, a legallybinding promise by 'which you agreeto pay an annU3I sum each year, outof your income; to your chosen charity. In order to, obtain tax relief itmust run for more thall three years.There is no limit on the amount thatcan be donated.3. A LOAN COVENANT: the mainproblem with the type of covenantoutlined in (2) above is that it needsto consist or'at least four annualpayments, which requires a commitment over a period of years. Also· thecharity \vill only receive the money inannual inst.,lments and not at' once: ALoan Covenant\ is a way of overcoming such problems. It retains thenormal tax advantages of giving undera Charitable ,Deed Of Covenant,whilst permitting a single donation tobe made by an individual to a charity.The donor effectively lends the chitrity money interest free, the loan beingequivalent to four times the netannual payments due under a normalCharitable Deed, Of Covenant. At thesame time the donor also enters into aCharitable Deed Of Covenant in favourof the charity. The charity repaysthe loan ,to the donor in':four instal"ments -' each" ,coinciding' \vith theusual due date of the Charitable DeedOf Covenant. 'With this arrangementthe loan repaynient instalment and theannual covenant payment exactly cancel each other,'out and no cash needactually change hands (apart from theamount that \s originally "lent" tothe charity by' the donor). However,the charity is able to obtain' the taxadvantages on':'the four conventionalcovenant payments as they fall due.

Besides making regular gifts outof income, it is'also possible to makesingle lump sum donations to charityout of your accumulated 'wealth orcapital, in a tax efficient mamier, asfollows:-A. GIFT AID: is a way for a UKresident who is a taxpayer to get taxrelief for single cash gifts to a charity.Each gift must be for a minimumamount of £25,0;00, and represent, the,net amount actually paid to the charity once Income Tax is deducted atthe ,Basie Rate. Once again, themechanics for" ,obtaining the ~ reliefs for bot,h the donor and the

charity is exactly the same as thatoutlined for a Charitable Deed OfCovenant in (2) above.

An individual is able to make aone-off gift as and when he feelsinclined to and is not committed topaying a regular sum in the future.B. LEGACY BY WILL: a will directs how you wish your estilte to bedistributed on your death. A legacy isa cash gift under the terms of a willFor the purposes of calculating anyliability to Inheritance Tax, all outright legacies and bequests to UKcharities are completely exempt fromInheritance Tax, and can be used notonly as a tax free means of'benefitingyour favoured charity. on your death,but also as a way of reducing anyliability to Inheritance Tax that yourestate would otherwise be exposed to.

The aim of this article'has been tooutline the various options availablefor giving money' to charity in a taxefficient manner. However, I wouldnot wish to overlook the. more usualform of fund raising that most of usare familiar' with, as highlighted bythe charitable work of Club DonneItaliane. COl has been actively raisingfunds for charities that provide assistance to' babies and young c;hildren by'organising:special events' such as: asponsored 'walk, a Briscola Competition, a Quiz night and a Gala CharityBingo Evening. During 1990-1991COl was able to purchase two specialincubators which were donated to"BLISS", a charity that benefitspremature babies. During 1992 moneywas raised to assist causes within theAnglo.Italian community, in additionto sending over twenty tons of clothing to Hungary to aid refugees fromYugoslavia. During 1993-1994 fundraising was dedicated to The Foundation For Children with Leukaemia andCDI Was abIe' to donate an expensivepieee, of equipment vital for thetreatment of children with this condition. New members are always welcome. Membership details and a' programme of club and fund raisingevents can be obtained from: CDI, 20Brixton Road, London,SW9 6BU (TelNo 0181 660 1525).

Honour and Respect Luigi Sterlini

I suppose that by virtue of someperverse logic; I had to be the bestperson to ask to review two recentnovels by Lilie Ferrari. After all, I'mknown in BACKHILL circles for notbeing a bookworm. I normally have todo so much reading in everyday lifethat reading for pleasure is not evenon the agenda. Infact the last novel Iwas fortunate to savour, some yearsago on holiday, was Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco (a densesocio-historicallpolitical thriller whichin my view was a worthy follow.up toEco's The Name of The Rose). This.will give you some idea of myfeelings whcn told/asked to read andreview a pair of what I'd assumedwould turn out to be wet historicalromances of the B3Ibara BradfordTaylor type. That'1I teach me to judgea book by it's cover....

Fortunata traces the story- of ayoung woman of Italian parentagegrowing up in Lon-don's "Little 1t.,ly"in thc 1920's, atypically inclincd towards political activism, and not, to hcrparents' growing dismay, the 'proper'role of a good(Catholic) Italiangirl: getting marriedand rearing a family.One imagines thatFortunata Vialli, abeauty with a sharptongue, would almostcertainly have madeher name (in spite ofthe significant disadvantage that her gcnder represented at thetime) in pre and postwar politics but forthe arrival in hcr Iifcof a widower Giuseppc Florio and hismanipulative d.,ughter Serafina, who·have escaped the fascisti at home. Herdestiny is complicated by the (persistent) appearancc of fiery Irish politician loo O'Connell, and I won't spoilthe story by telling you what happensas the story unfolds but it is significant that the author takes the readerthrough all the areas of 1t.,lian Lon-

don. Those who know Clerkenwellnow will recognise many familiarreference points.•.and many that havesince disappeared. We are also ledthrough the political and personalevents of the Italian co"mmunity inLondon which arc now seen largely aspure history but arc brought vividly tolight in the book: the rise of thefascist and anti·fascist movements,both here and in Italy; internment; thetragedy of The Arandora Star; war

.time deprivations. How. arc theseevents made so real? By being intertwined with an engrosSing tale ofpersonal commitment and ordinaryeveryday. occurrences which any of uswill recognise: love, death, jealousy,passion and regret.

Ferrari's second novcl, Angelface,is about another unconventionally out'spoken young woman and is set >inSoho in the 1950s. The story revolvesaround the somewhat incredible life

of MarioneuaPereUi whose'fa'mily ownsand runs TheImperial' Cafein the heart ofLondon's 'liveliest quarter.The Perettisno\v have tofacc their oldSicilian enemies to whomtJley owe adebt of honourincurred ageneration car·

,lier back in theold country.The Moruzzifamily, viciousand violentgangsters whocontrol all of

Soho's illegal activities, have decidedit is time to call in the debt.

The story fairly rattles along witha seemingly endless supply of twistsand turns to kccp the reader interested, and every chapter seems to cndwith a cliflbanger or a damningrevelation...just like a soap opera.Which is no surprise, I suppose, as theauthor has for the last few years bee.n

involved in seriptwriting for Eastenders, Eldorado, and Casually. This isnot to condemn the book: it is wellwriUen (and could easily be turnedinto one of those period dramas thatthe BBC, arc so good at), but to mymind is rather lightcr than For/una/a,which exhibits a depth of detailenabling it to work very well withoutresorting to sensationalism.

It is interesting that the two maincharacters, 'Nata and 'Netta (yes, theyreally arc abbreviated to that in thetwo booksl) share the same sense ofhonour and respect for the "Italiantraditions", but at the same time seekthe rich opportunities of the future.Both arc born in England but bothfcel a sense of duty to that liuleportion of Italian-tinged Londonwhich is their home. What is moststriking, perhaps, is that the twoprotagonists appear to measure theirhard fought frecdoms by..degrees,seemingly ready to accept less thantheir ultimate goals as a worthwhileachievement. Is this true to life? Theanswer must be a resounding "yes"when we consider the potent andstringent family orientated backdropwhich lurks almost menacingly inboth novels. I am sure few of us canfail to recognise the description givento the "Italian family" by one of thecharacters: straightjacket. But it is thesame family values and sense ofoverall unity which has been deseribed time and time again by thosewho can still recall the old times of'The Hill', which gave those people /who lived in it, a fecling of securityand sense of purpose.

As the years pass and each generation is further distanced from 'laPatria', the loyalty of the occupants of'The Hill' and (to a lesser extent other'Italian' areas like) Soho is transferred to those very areas beforebeing assimilated in the great me·tropolis. These two books provide notonly an important historical perspective for all anglo-italians, but also apointer to those values we should seekto retain for the future. Highly recommended reading.

'Star Trek,.' Generations brings together the' old and the new. Thegung-ho Kirk and the diplomaticPicard of the Next Generation. And ifsome of you are wondering who theNext Generation are then you havemissed out on the most successfulsyndicated show of all time. TheParamount powers-that-be decided touse the 'old' crew to introduce the new.TIle result is an entertaining film thathas air the elements of any good StarTrek programme: laughter, action, arespect for life, and the saving ofmillions of people by the captain ofthe Enterprise.

This time Kirk (William Shatner)is caught in the Nexus whilst savingthe Enterprise NCC-1701-B whilstChekov and Scotty think they havelost their immortal captain. Eighty

years later Jean-Luc Pieard finds him"self asking what the Nexus is. "It'slike being wrapped up in joy" comesthe reply from Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg). The man trying to find theNexus is Soran (Malcolm McDowell)which isn't a problem except that heis willing to sacrifice 200,OOO,OOO.orso people to do it. .

.Picard sets out to stop Soranwhilst the Enterprise is badly damaged by a K1ingon ship (what else).Shockl Horror! Picard fails and isthrown into the Nexus.

I'll leave the story at that. I won'tmention what happens to Data, or tell·you to look out for the great FX instellar cartography, nor the experienceof the Enterprise. What I will say isthat if you don't know what happensto Kirk then you really don't knowmuch about films at all, do you?

Generations would be worth seeing whether you are a Star Trek fan ornot. But it is a must just to find outwhat happens to Kirkl

The. Shawshank Redemption isone of those films that may well passyou by but is better than some .I could.mention. I first came across TimRobbins in that wonderful film ThePlayer. Now, he's all over the place.Here he plays a successful bankerwho is aceused and found guilty ofmurdering his wife and her lover andsent to Shawshank prison for life. The

story is told through the eyes ofanother inmate Morgan Freeman anddeals with life in the prison over thesixteen years that Robbins is there.Initially his experiences are brutal andtortuous with the new prisoner keeping very much to himself whilst therest of the inmates wait for him tocraek. But in his own· quiet way hesets .out to crack the system. As hesays he has a choice: either to get onwith living or get on 'vith dying. Isuggest you get on down and giveThe Shawshank Redemption a look-see if you can. .

1994 Review:

Let's see off the old year withsome good old-fashioned statistics.The U.K. top ten box office hits for1994 (£m gross takings) were: 1. FourWeddings and a Funeral (27.4m) 2.Mrs Doubtfire· (21.0m) 3. The Flintstoncs (20.2m) 4. The Lion King(18.Sm) S. The Mask (17.2m) 6.Aladdin (16.2m) 7. Schindlcr's List(13.8m) 8.True Lies (13.7m) 9.ForrestGump (12.8m) IO.Speed (10.2m)

In the U.S. it seemed, superficially, that '94 was a good year withrevenue up to a record breaking 1.3billion U.S. dollars. But whilst boxoffice reached new heights so didproduction costs. Analysts believe thatless than a third of last year's 170major studio U.S. releases will makemoney. Many will only recoup theirbudgets after video and overseas releases. My guess is that this turn ofevents will lead to more\Stallime typedeals being struck. Savoy Pictureswill pay him S20m or 20% of thetotal worldwide box offeie if revenuesexceed SlOOm, to star in an unnamed1996 picture. How else will fragilefilm companies afford the likes ofCruise, Costner and Sehwarzenegger?

Others, however, are cutting theirloses before they start; TriStardropped Jan "Speed" de Bont fromits Godzilla. remake after the directorasked for a budget of S130m. Theyhave since scaled.it down to a mereSlOOm.

That's all the space for now. Oscartime next month - yes, already. Withgreetings from California...

George Graham: maintaining parity in wages.

The last· time I pui' pen to paperwas' in mid November and I concluded'my article by saying that.PaulMe~n's exclUsive story had justbroken~ in the Daily Mirror but I didnot have time to' read' it. I expressedthe .hope that this would not beanotlier case of exceptional talentgoing to wasie. A great dealhas, hapPened, in' the ensuingtwo months.

Let us start With Mr Mersonas obviously I have no", had anopportunity of reading everything that"has been written onthis subject. .

The Arsenal mid field stargave' an exclusive to the DailyMirror saying, that since January 1994,'he,had taken cocaineand regularly frequented nightclubs drinking as much as 11pints of lager top in anevening, He was also a compulsive gambler with extensivedebts. There was also mentionof his personal life at home.

There has been no clear indicationof whether or not he was paid for thisarticle: If he was paid then I ean wellunderstand the need to earn money topayoff the gambling debts. Nevertheless, for' my part, I would have fcltmuch more perSuaded by Mr Merson's stated \vish to rehabilitate himself had he done ~ privately withoutdragging his family and Arsenal Football Club into the sPotlight.

,In December, frankly, I did notcare whether Merson ever played forArsenal again although by now I amfeeling a little more charitable. It isnot because 'the team's poor performance on the field cries out for someone of his taleni but more because ofhis very obvious distress at the pressconference immediately following hisrelc.1se from the South coast clinic.

It has not been the news of PaulMerson, however, which has shakenme in my boois, Instead it has beenthe bombshell that the PremierLeague are investigating irregularitiesin the John Jenscn transfer which mayhave involved an initial payment ofcommission to Arsenal ManagerGcorge Graham of a sum in theregion of £250,000. Graham has sincemade a public statement to the effect,that he has never profited from any'

transfer deal. The original newspaperreports, however, indicated that Graham had ,repaid the commission plusinterest to the Club. We are allawaiting the outcome of the inquirybut Gcorge Graham's position hasalso not been helped by the poorperformance of the team on the field.

As regular readers of this column\vill know, there is no greater supporter of George Graham's managerial talents than your correspondent.So where does he stand on this issue?

I would like to take you back intime to a LIRA dinner last Aprilwhen, on the eve of the GrandNational, the subject of transfer feesand players' salaries were being discussed. In a fierce debate with anarray of Manchester United supporters(who were fresh from their first evervisit to Old Trafford), I defendCdGcorge Graham's transfer policy onthe basis that it was equitable tomaintain parity in the wages paid ioplayers and he was to be applaudedfor not brc.1king his pay structure toaccommodate, the likes of Roy Keane.After the Cup Winners Cup triumphagainst Parma, I was confident, as youwill know, that the premier leaguetitle \yould come home to Highbury ifthere could be one decent midfieldsigning' plus a new striker. StefanSchwarz joined from Benfica and.allthat was nceded was Chris Suttonfrom Norwich. Again, Graham chosenot to brc.1k the bank and KennyDalglish got his man instead.

Arsenal have had an atrociousinjury 'run but, in my opinion, that isonly partially responsible for their

lowly league position. Heaven forfendthat we may yet have to play relegation matches nearer the cnd of theseason but we are now out of both theFA and Coca Cola Cups. It wasapparent throughout the Autumn thatnew signings were nceded to injectsome life into a stagnating .squad but

it was only last weck that £2,5million was spent on JohnHartson from Luton (a promising prospect - "a young A1anSmith") and Chris Kryonwafrom Ipswich (I am less' sureabout him - what about PaulDickov in the reserves?).

The· Arsenal defence hasbeen leaking goals. Alright,Bould and Adams have notbeen available but the midfield which lined up againstMillwall of Hillier, Jensen,Morrow and Parlour, (\Vith theexception of the Jatter), is not

going to be creative and inno-vative.

The question must be asked - whateffect have the off the field activitieshad on the team's performance? I willanswer that question from a fan'sperspective. I had complete faith inthe judgment and integrity of GeorgeGraham. I believe that part 'of thereason for Arsenal's success was thathis players had similar respect andheld him in awe. When Arsenal wonthe Championship in 1991" a bannersimply stated "George Knows Best"and there was no one around Highbury who was going to disagree withthat.

When the commission story broke,my. faith was questioned. As far as theplayers were concerned - how couldthe adherence to a rigid pay structureand a refusal to pay big money for bigmoney signings be squared \vith allegations that the manager, at least,initially received a very substantialcommission payment? Once credibility and respect is lost or at' best,diminished, can a manager still havethe same motivational effect on hisplayers? Can authority and strict discipline still be enforced? I do believethese are factors in some of Arsenal'smore recent performances.

SportlightSo what should the directors of

Arsenal football Club do?This has to be a very diffieult

decision for them to take. GcorgeGraham has been a superb servant tothe Club with 6 major trophies in 8years and if Arsenal were languishingin their current position in the Ic.~gue

and knocked out of two cups withoutthe commission allegations againsthim, I would be shouting abuse fromthe hilltops at anyone who criticisedthe Arsenal Manager just because hisside were going through a roughperiod. You do not go from a tactic.~1

genius in May to a footballing dunceby December.

But the "Jensen Affair" cannot beignored. It would appear the ArsenalBoard are awaiting the outcome of thepremier league inquiry and whilst Ican understand why they may believethat is probably the right thing to do,it does mean having a decply unset-

tied side for a large part of thisseason. I would not want, however,the Board simply to act in accordanecwith the inquiry result. Arsenal mustset their own standards. Did Grahamaccept this very substantial commission payment, hold on to it for twoyears and only repay it when thedetails became known to the directors? If that is the case, then even ifthe inquiry does not severely reprimand Graham, I am of the opinionthat such conduct is unacceptable foran Arsenal Manager, regardless of histrack record and he will have to go.

I find it hard to believe theArsenal Board have not already askedtheir manager precisely the question Ihave posed above. If they have and hehas given a wholly satisfactory explanation thcn a more positive publiestatement should have been made bythe Board in support of their managerto try and restore faith and respect to

Continued from page 34

players and supporters alike. If he wasunable to give a satisfactory explanation then should the Board not haveacted immediately to uphold the goodname of the club. I must confess that Ifeci the answer to that question is yes- the Board should have been decisive.

I .accept that such a course mayhave pre-empted the Premier Leagueinquiry and arguably prejudicedGcorge Graham's position at the hearing.

But if the Board are aware ofunacceptable conduct, it is not goingto become acceptable by the passageof time regardless of the outcome ofthe inquiry. So why allow the cloud tohang over the club?

I favoured a clear early decisionone way or the other but as mallersnow stand we C;llI only hope thefindings of the inquiry ean be madepublic as quickly as possible.
