Topics Main Overview Among all adults, the most closely followed local topics are weather, breaking news, politics and crime, all followed by a solid majority of two thirds or more. Slightly less popular topics but still with a fairly good following of about half or more are arts and culture, local businesses, schools and education, community and neighborhood events, restaurants, taxes and traffic. Fewer survey respondents follow local news about housing, local government activity, job openings, social services, or zoning. Workers of the World United: Football and Socialism « Socialist Party : Portsmouth Branch One true test of any socialist, regardless of their party or their background, is their reaction to the world ‘football’. Some sneer and write it off, often arguing that it is merely a tool to distract the masses, perhaps even going so far as to suggest the sport encourages ‘un-socialist’ ideas of competition.

That was one of the first questions I ever asked Bosco Mongousso, an Mbendjele pygmy who lives in the sparsely populated Ndoki forest at the far northern tip of the Republic of Congo. We were sitting on logs around a fire one evening four years ago, eating a dinner of smoked river fish and koko, a vitamin-rich wild green harvested from the forest. I'd come to this hard-to-reach corner of the Congo basin – a spot at least 50km from the nearest village – to report a story for National Geographic magazine about a population of chimpanzees who display the most sophisticated tool-use ever observed among non-humans. Mongousso, who makes his living, for the most part, by hunting wildlife and gathering forest produce such as nuts, fruits, mushrooms and leaves, had teeth that had been chiselled to sharp points as a child.

Rinaldi's Blog Milan 1981/82, via Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio Barbara Berlusconi had seen enough. It was no longer tolerable, she said, for Milan fans to watch “unacceptable performances” like the defeat against Sassuolo. Heaven knows what she would have made, then, of the Rossoneri side which took to the field for the 1981/82 Serie A season. Lady B, of course, was not even born back then.

TORINO: TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY A look back at the tragic history that continues to define a football club. The 50th anniversary of the Superga plane crash, on 4 May 1999, was supposed to represent a new beginning. For Torino, May 4th is a day reserved for remembrance and celebration of ‘Il Grande Torino’ (Great Torino) and fifty years later the date was to symbolise rebirth at their historic, but abandoned, Stadio Filadelfia. Instead it was indicative of the Granata (claret red). Rather than lay the foundation stone the day came and went, leaving supporters furious and clinging to the past.
