vitamin news deficiency

I continue to be amazed by the provincialism of Italian news. Watching the telegiornali while reading the NY Times and Guardian online is particularly instructive. There is, of course, plenty on al-Zawahiri, but most of the terrorism news turns on the extradition of Hussein Osman from Rome. We've at last exhausted the details on Italians (and only Italians) killed at Sharm el Sheik that fed the headlines last week. Incredibly, the other dozens of victims went unnoticed, in favor of shmaltzy pieces on young fiancees on vacation and Sicilian girls celebrating graduations.
Lately I'm taking in images of demonstrating soccer fans, endless footage of holiday traffic congestion and weather, and a bewildering amount of cocaine dissolved in the Po River.
