CONVERSATION UNDER A LEAD SKY   italian version
The collapse of the towers in New York has provoked a seismic wave that has submerged old continents and created new ones. It has also divided the Left into those who see the war as a useful political tool and those who, from Genoa to Assisi, attempt to unite justice with peace. 'Conversation'â is a plain word for a difficult question: if the short century ended in 1991, which century began on 11th September?
 
The Left and the War   italian version
We asked some foreign collaborators to give an initial account of how the Left in the West has reacted to the 11th September and the war. On the whole, the picture is not particularly heartening at the moment. However, there is an Italian anomaly which ne eds to be taken into account and utilised in an attempt to save and scrutinise it in the hope it will extend elsewhere.

The DS congress at the Grassroots   italian version
A political party is not just what it says it is, but is also what it is. From this point of view is interesting to take a rare look at the DS congress from a grassroots level, casting an eye over participation, the debate and the mood in some sample seat s in different regions. The biggest news item overall can be found in the material changes taking place.
