Cocaine Found In The Air Of Italian Cities - Home Remember when Phil Collins sang about feeling it coming in the air tonight? Well if he was in Italy at the time of recording then 'it' probably referred to a debauched night of nosebleeds and shouting at strangers. A government-sponsored study found traces of cocaine and marijuana in eight of the biggest cities in Italy, including Rome, Milan, Florence and Turin. But if you're now maniacally booking a ticket to Italy, hoping to get a free oxygen-delivered high, the traces are so low that no-one would be able to get anything from it.

Bain ads hit home in swing states Polling suggests President Obama’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s private-equity background at Bain Capital are hurting the presumptive GOP nominee in key swing states. Obama’s onslaught on Romney has not made a dent in national polls, which show the race for the White House deadlocked. But there are signs the negative ads and focused discussion on Romney’s business background are hurting the Republican in much the same way the attacks on John Kerry’s Vietnam service hurt the Democratic nominee in the 2004 race, when national numbers held but key biographical metrics began to erode for Kerry.

In Colorado, Virginia and Ohio, Romney’s favorability numbers have dropped from June.
