Son of Il Duce, disciple of Duke
Article Abstract:
Italian jazz pianist Romano Mussolini, son of the late dictator Benito Mussolini, attracted controversy recently by obtaining sponsorship for a concert in London, England, from Italian accommodation agency Meeting Point, which he later discovered is run by two self-declared Fascists. He has in fact never been very interested in politics, having developed a love for music at a very early age. He respects the people who remember his father, but points out that Mussolini as a father was very different from Mussolini as a politician.

Murdoch stumbles in the passage to India
Article Abstract:
The Indian government has issued a ban on Direct to Home, or digital satellite television broadcasting. This will create significant difficulties for Rupert Murdoch, who had formed India SkyB to offer a digital satellite service. He is now taking legal action, but the government shows signs of being determined not to shift its position. It seems likely that Murdoch will find it very hard to build on the success in India of Star TV, his satellite television network which was originally Chinese.
