Most of the member-states of the Council of Europe are undermining the final rulings of the European Court of Human Rights.
Although they have been charged with violating the Convention
for the Protection of Human Rights, they refuse defiantly and
without excuse to pay out the determined compensation packages. Turkey leads in the refusal to execute the decisions of the
Court of Human Rights, followed by Russia, Ireland, and Greece.
These countries show disdain to the European Court of Human
Rights and its rulings, as well as to the commitments they made
to the Convention as member states of the Council of Europe; a
Convention which they had agreed to and signed. Recently, the
Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, which is responsible for ensuring the execution of the Court of Human Rights rulings, made public its first annual report for 2007, which lists the
endless refusals of specific member-states of the Council of
Europe to respect and execute the final rulings of the Court.
The Court of Human Rights ordered for euros 34.423.831 to be
paid out in compensation packages in 2007. Greece and Cyprus
have been order to pay out euros 5.769.648 and euros 49.800
respectively for their violations of human rights. However,
according to the report of the Committee of Ministers of the
Council of Europe, Greece is inexcusably delaying to pay up. It
should be noted that within the unexecuted rulings of the Court of
Human Rights in 2007, 17% belong to Turkey, 13% to Italy and
Bulgaria, and 6% to Greece. In the case of Greece, particularly, it
has been reported that compensation packages have been
delayed for more than five years after the ruling.
For what reason? What are these countries attempting to
achieve with these delays? Why does the Court of Human
Rights not take even tougher measures? During our visit to the
European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg we discovered
that many of the cases involve the illegal expropriation of land
by local governments...
Should the European Court of Human Rights seek
the help of Interpol and Europol?...

His apartment in Paris is located on the first floor of a
mansion near the Opera House. A bright white space; a
round table is the only piece of furniture in a large room;
an icy elegance; mirrors replace windows on the old
wooden doors. The walls hold his paintings, black ink on
white paper.
Gao is a writer, a playwright, a director and a painter.
"I am an artist like artists of the past, just like Da Vinci
was. The division of occupations came later and humans had to
define themselves. I will not define myself, I refuse. I do not like to be regarded as a French citizen who writes in Chinese, a Chinese expat.
I feel that I am a citizen of the world".
"...Painting. In high school, in Nanjing, my first teacher was a renowned artist;
he created oil paintings, in a western tradition, but also classic Chinese
themes, flowers, birds. I owe him a lot. But as a child I was also fascinated
by theatre, perhaps because my mother was a prose artist, what is called
‘spoken theatre' in China and has its origins in the West. Our theatre comprised song, narration and dance. But it was coded, embalmed. I tried to rejuvenate it..."
"...No, absolutely not. Literature is never the voice of the collective, our
collective, your collective."
"...Contemporary Chinese, written Chinese, is a language that is so mouldable
and adaptive that it allows itself to be dominated and eroded away. If only you
knew how corrosive the translations of foreign literature are, those which were
revealed chaotically at the beginning of the last century. Today we have a
Chinese language that resembles French, Russian, English, that passively
follows the structures of these civilisations, whereas instead we should be
listening to the language that is being spoken, the dialects, the richness of the
living Chinese language..."
"...There is a basic problem. To find a solution with which to save the West and I mean Europe in particular - from crisis. We have not reached the end
as yet, but this wonderful civilisation seems to be blocked and washed away
by Asia. The distress signals are there, but no one is noticing them. There are
no vital answers here, everything is frozen, bureaucratic, without new
thought, there are no vital answers. What is art today? The scribbles of
fashion, design, are confused with art. Is there any point in this?"
Would he return to China? "I do not think so. I lived my first years in China,
from 1940 when I was born until 1987. This water has flowed."
"...I live in Paris and am resisting. I am resisting to political power,
whichever this might be. I am resisting to the market. I do not do this so
that my works may circulate. I am fully aware that the publishers and producers have their own coded criteria, but I will not submit. I resist, that is
all. I have friends, a small group that works with me, and I had great fortune,
the Nobel Prize. But money can fly away like birds from a cage. If I am able
to survive and to allow myself to resist, this is due to the fact that I am a man
of many trades. Today, just like when I arrived in Paris a few years ago, I
depend mostly on my paintings."
"...I believe in a cold blooded literature, a literature of the moment, for the
living. I believe that a writer should first of all be a witness and connoisseur of human nature, should observe its multiple perspectives through
an objective gaze. If one likes to observe, I can assure that person that he
or she will expel all ideologies, from the mind and will not want to change
the world or delude oneself with false hope for the future...".

Why a Nobel Museum in Greece?
The answers of Nobel laureates.
*
Because it was Greece that gave birth to all sciences. The sciences that the Nobel Foundation honours today,
Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize for Literature 1971.
Because it is in Greece that the word Peace had found, as early as the 5th century B.C. in the works of
Aristophanes (445-338 B.C.), its true meaning, Nelson Mandela, Nobel Peace Prize 1993.
Because it is in Greece that Literature and Poetry began to flourish, as early as the 8th century B.C. (with
Homer, Sappho and others), Eugenio Montale, Nobel Prize for Literature 1975
Because it was the Greek language that gave Alfred Nobel the word dynamis (power), after which he named
his number one invention, dynamite, Erwin Schrodinger, Nobel Prize in Physics 1933
Because it was the Greek language that gave many Nobel laureates names for their inventions (plutonium,
uranium, electron, protein, ozone, titanium and so on), Ernest Rutherford, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1908
Because Alfred Nobel was fond of the Mediterranean, especially Italy and Greece, and distributed books
about Greece by the famous English poet P. Shelley, Philip Noel-Baker, Nobel Prize in Peace 1959
Because Alfred Nobel, with his inventions, played an decisive role in the widening of the Isthmus of Corinth,
one of the most significant commercial projects in Europe in the 19th century, Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize
in Physics 1921
Because Greece should honour the people who honoured Greece through Giorgos Seferis in 1963 and
Odysseus Elytis in 1979, Gertrude Elion, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1988
Because it is in Greece that the unique Alfred Nobel Collection, following a century-long adventure, is to be
found, Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1977 - Yasser Arafat, Nobel Peace Prize 1994

The power of
the beautiful
Italy displays ancient Greek art
internationally
he halls of the Fruttiere of the Palazzo Te are holding 120 impressive
Greek works of art from all over the world (Italy, France, Germany,
Britain etc.; coordinated by Andrea Mandara).
The exhibition aspires to use narration to highlight the presence of ancient
Greek art on the Italian peninsula, a presence that has impacted greatly on
the thousand-year-old contacts and exchanges that weaved the web of
the ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean.
The linear sequence of exhibits can be defined as comprising three consecutive yet clearly discernible phases that correspond to the three sections of
this exhibition. The exhibition provides us with a historical narration through
works of fine art.
The first section covers the 6th to 4th centuries BC. The art that emerged
from the Greek cities of southern Italy and Sicily were not solely the creations
of the Greeks that live there, but also of the indigenous populations of the
Italian peninsula, more specifically they were also creations of the Etruscans
who were impressed by Greek art and wished to imitate it.
T
The civilisation of Rome stands out among those that were enchanted by
Greek art. The second section of the exhibition (3rd century BC to 4th century AD) is dedicated to Rome. The Romans did not only loot and collect
Greek works of art, but also encouraged Greek artists to work for them in
Italy. They commissioned copies of the most famous works to adorn their
houses, their gymnasiums, their gardens. This ‘multiplication' of Greek art
and its strong presence in the works of Roman writers rendered them
famous, which later on would lay the foundations of research, from the
Middle Ages to the 19th century.
The search for authenticity is the subject of the third section of the exhibition. Alongside the almost mythical idea regarding the lost Greek art stands
the importation of sculpted works from Greece from the 5th century
onwards. The love for collecting was reborn and people learned to identify
the originals among the copies. Authentic Greek works made their appearance on Italian soil for one more time.
This narrative sequence aims to highlight some of the definite traits of the
positive reception that enabled Greek art to establish itself within the
indigenous populations of the Italian peninsula. Between one section and
the next, through the power of images, we follow the defining moments
that ignited those mechanisms of integration. These formed the basis for
18th century ‘scientific' research on Greek art, which began in Italian
antiquity and culminated with German antiquarianism. Thus, the presence of Greek art in Italy became the womb for the rebirth of its discovery and the historical approaches that are under way today.
ÌðñÜâï! - Bravo!
It is the only comment a Greek can express regarding this exhibition and all those who helped to realize it: From the President of the Italian Republic,
who placed the exhibition under Çis high auspices,
to the Mayor of the city of Madova and the last
medium of culture. The Greeks thank you all from
the depths of their hearts.

Paris, May '68 - May 2008
40th Anniversary
It was my first time in Paris; I was there on a three-moth scholarship awarded to me by the Italian National Research Foundation
(March, April, May 1968).
I went to the Manuscripts Department of the National Library on
a daily basis. I was writing up my doctoral thesis.
In the Library I was informed of the student outburst against the
conservatism of the academics. Those days, I would meet my fellow students from the Library on the streets of the French capital.
No one was aware of the type of «protest» they were participating
in: Was it an ideological revolution? A cultural or political
1
uprising? What is a student explosion? Was there a political
party in charge? The French and foreign students on the
streets did not know... Each of the students I asked provided
me with a different answer...
On 9th May, outside Sorbonne, I heard Louis Aragon (Cfr. photo 1,
Archive G.S. Marcou) addressing his students... and that is when I
realised that politicisation was beginning. But I still had many questions
unanswered, such as, "why is it that even the students of Columbia
University (Cfr. photo 2, Archive G.S. Marcou) in the USA are
rebelling and striking...".
Since then I have read more than ten books that deal with May '68
in Paris (more than 300 have been published) and all present different views...

The President of the European Parliament Hans-Gert
Pottering recently delivered a speech in plenary to
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the European
Parliament.
In his speech he stressed that "...step by step, the
European Parliament has fought to secure more and
more rights and has become ever more aware of its
responsibility and of what it can do; and today it does
credit to its name...".
"...Today, we are 785 Members from 27 European
nations; we represent seven political groups and more
than 150 national political parties; we are both a legislative and a budgetary authority, on an equal footing
with the Council of Ministers; we exercise oversight
over the European Commission and elect its President;
we are the representatives of close to 500 million
Union citizens; we reflect all political tendencies in the
European Union; we have become self-assured and a
major player in European politics...".
Talking about the Reform Treaty President Pottering
highlighted: "...The Treaty of Lisbon will further
strengthen our rights. In future, decisions on important
issues now of concern to citizens in the European
Union can be taken only if the European Parliament
gives its consent...".
"...The Treaty of Lisbon and the Charter of Fundamental
Rights will make a decisive contribution towards making democracy and parliamentarianism in the
European Union a reality at all levels. We can be proud
of our consistent support for the Reform Treaty and for
the Charter of Fundamental Rights...".
He also remembered National Parliaments saying
"...the cooperation between the European Parliament
and national parliaments is of special concern to us.
We must endeavour, in future, to maintain that cooperation...".
In the formal seating to commemorate the event,
President of the Council, Slovenian Prime Minister
Janez Jansa and Commission President Jose Manuel
Barroso also addressed the House. Speakers of national parliaments, former EP Presidents, former EP
Secretaries-General and representatives of other institutions attended the ceremony.
The European Parliamentary Assembly met for its
constituent meeting in Strasbourg on 19 March
1958.

As Harvard Business School turns 100, staying
on top is harder than ever. What we can learn
from its success so far.
Does Harvard Business School have a future? As the
market is being changed a new kind of studies is needed and new competitors are gaining appeal. So, we
must answer carefully.
Apart from the changes that must be done, we can find
the essence of what has made the place so successful.
All students agreed that what they gained experience and they learned the way of solving financial problems.
Especially experience can hardly be copied by competitors. That is, of course, connected with the high
level of studies. Harvard School's capability to work on
its own and to conserve the quality of studies is
admirable. It is understood that thought is the
main product which keeped the high standards
of School.

An unbelievable act of the Archaeological Service
DIMITRIS TALAGANIS ARRESTED
THE DAY BEFORE THE OPENING OF THE
HIPPOCRATIC GARDEN!!
The day before a great project was inaugurated, which shows up in all its
splendour the qualitative portrait of Cos, the Archaeological service (22nd
Conservancy of Antiquities) committed a great blunder!
On the hill in front of the Hippocratic Foundation, which had
become a huge garbage dumping site, men serving in the 80th
ADTE collected 8 lorry loads of all kinds of garbage with the consent
of the DIIK. Consecutively, with the generous sponsorship of
Professor Sot. Prapas (over 100.000 euros), the internationally
renown artist, D.Talaganis, managed in a matter of a few days to
remodel the site in an unbelievably beautiful fashion. His work was
admired and applauded by 3.000 cardio-surgeons and of course
by the representatives of the government and the local authorities.
The archaeologists, however, considered the transformation of this
garbage site into a paradise by Talaganis - mainly with the planting
of cypress trees and plants of Hippocrates, and the addition of a
frugal marble monument - as interference in their business. And
instead of waiting to see the result, they urgently called the
police. As a result, Talaganis was immediately arrested and lead
to the Police Station. And if it was not for the prudent intervention
of the Public Prosecutor, he would have been held in custody and
spent the day of the inauguration, the First of May, locked up!!!
HAVE PITY, you people who think you are the only ones who love
and care for the antiquities of our country.
Instead of congratulating and thanking the prime movers
(Prapas, Talaganis and Geroulanos), if it was in your power, you
would have burnt them… at the stake!!!...

The Prize awarded by the 18th Congress of the World Society of
Cardiothoracic Surgeons to the Museum of the Hellenic Nobel Collection
was a stele made of plexiglass, a work of the internationally renowned architect and painter Dimitris Talaganis. It was presented by the Head of the
Congress, Greek Professor of Cardio-surgery Sotiris Prapas, to the wellknown biologist and writer Eleni Tressou Georgiades, member of the
Association of the Friends of the Museum of the Hellenic Nobel Collection.
During the prize-awarding ceremony, on the big screen of the congress room
was projected the collection of the 27 first-day circulation envelopes,
regarding Greek physician George Papanikolaou, put into circulation by the
USA Post Offices on 18-5-1978. These envelopes in honour of the Greek
physician were signed by 18 Nobel Laureate for Medicine, and 7 Nobel
Laureates for Physics and Chemistry. The above envelopes today belong to
the Museum of the Hellenic Nobel Collection.

Comment
A most significant and of world renown Medical Society decides to
hold its 18th Congress in Greece, on the island of Hippocrates, and
Cos welcomes it as described in the above article by local journalist
and publisher of the newspaper "To Vima tis Co", Giannis Ioannidis.
Thank you, Gianni, because I do not wish to be the only one to write
about all the shortcomings of Cos, an island where I served for fifteen
years as Honorary Consul of Italy. The news concerning the arrest
of Dimitris Talaganis, an internationally acknowledged artist, went
round the world. We struggle all our life to promote Greece and particularly certain areas, and such behaviour takes us years back…
And something more: The ordinary people differ basically from the
"notables" who follow these "tactics" and "intrigues". The
Dodecanese people are noble, unselfish, welcoming, likeable and
sincere. Certain persons with authority constitute the "great problem", to quote an expression of Odysseas Elytis.

First Announcement
The Director of the branch-office of a big private Greek Bank, which the Museum of the Greek Nobel Collection uses
for its international, its Greek and other financial dealings, … decided to apply his own methods and to "supposedly" facilitate the representatives of the Museum and of this international magazine.
If this "so-called helpful, but in reality negative" attitude of his is aimed at ruining the good name of the bank which
entrusted him with the position of Branch-Director (although the particular bank was derived from "merging" with
another one), to affect the importance of its main share-holders and, especially, the importance of the President
of the Bank, a personage with international trustworthiness and recognition, then we understand why he is behaving with such a complex towards the internationally established Museum and the international magazine that we represent.
Maybe Mister Director does not know that for the last three years, dozens of professionals who cooperate with us
have changed their Bank and have become clients of the one he represents so as to "facilitate" our payments…These
are architects, civil engineers, providers of building material, cement and iron companies, ordinary labourers
and foremen, aluminum and glass manufacturers, oil-painters, and all those needed for the construction of a
modern two-storey building covering 3.250 square metres. And in addition, collaborating journalists, international agencies, graphists, typists, translators, photographers, conveyors and others necessary for the publication of the Greek-English magazine, that is distributed in 16.000 copies in 42 countries.
No one was a client of this Bank (neither of the "merged" one) and they followed us because we asked them to do
so.
So why were the previous directors willing to be of service to us?
The Director

Why should we participate in the
Olympic Games
in China
1) Because this is a great opportunity for the growth of freedom.
2) Because sport transcends borders.
3) Because the meaning of sport is to fight from within, as then it
is easier for reminding others.
4) Because sport is pride, it is not neglect or absence. It means
imposing your strength, your own message, not looking for a way
out. There are no Olympic Games without some prominent figure
appearing in the media to suggest a boycott.
5) We do not think that sport is an oasis that needs to remain far
from the ugliness, as has been suggested by people and history. If
this were the case, Jessie Owens would never have won at the
Olympics of Nazi Berlin, nor would there have been any Olympics in
the USA, Russia or Korea.
6) Sport today is a business, cleaner or less clean, and whoever
handles it knows the ropes. Are we complaining that the Games will
take place in China? Fair enough. But why did no one react in 2001
when the selection was made? It is possible that the situation in
China was even worse at that time.
7) Sport has the power to unite the races, to demolish borders, to
eradicate the difference of religion, of language. This is a real
power and this has been used by politics also. Let us remember how
it has affirmed international relations, how ping pong facilitated in
clearing the air between the USA and China.
8) Sport cannot cover everything: politics and economics and
diplomacy. But it has the power to charm. The Olympics are watched
by two billion viewers. 12,000 reporters will enter China, a whole
army, and this is what China fears most. Who would place such
explosive material in their own back yard?

• OPAP
Athens 21-3-2008
Dear Sirs,
Congratulations on your cultural magazine. I am a relative of an employee of
OPAP (Greek Organization of Football
Prognostics) and I know very well the
huge publicity that is made to "Culture"
by this Organization, through advertisements in almost all the Greek press. A
few days ago, as I found out, they
received at OPAP the March issue with
the unpublished poems of Robespierre,
Hesse, Neruda and Einstein. All who
read the magazine remained speechless. They were surprised not only by
the unique, unknown poems, hitherto
unpublished, but also by the great care
which marks the edition in general
(quality of paper, colours).
The most striking was that in its pages
there did not exist the well-known entry
concerning the contribution of OPAP to
culture, but the entry of the French
Prefecture of Aix-en-Provence.
The absence of OPAP was due to a lady
who had judged the magazine 100%
unrelated to culture. Whey didn't you
bring charges against her for slander?
Hundreds of readers of your magazine,
Nobel laureates and distinguished personalities from all over the world will
come as witnesses. All the Greek and
foreign press will be on your side. My
brother, who is a lawyer, will take over
your case free of charge. Many of his
colleagues and he himself know and
appreciate the News of the Museum of
the Hellenic Nobel Collection, which is
distributed for free to dozens of foreign
countries and advertises Greece. In
what way does the renowned lady at
OPAP publicize our country? How much
money has she spent towards the universal promotion of Greece? Read the
newspaper "Proto Thema" of Sunday,
March 30 (pages 27-28), search for the
comments broadcast by the BBC radio
and then let us talk about it again. You
will receive, dear friends, more letters
on this subject. Please publish them.
Respectfully yours,
Maria D. Panagopoulou, Holargos
9) Sport helps us to remember, and sometimes rocks the boat.
10) Otherwise, it might be best to follow the idea of
Mario Pescante, member of the International Olympic
Committee and ex president of the Italian Olympic
Committee, an idea that was repeated in Rome by
Konstantinos Karamanlis: "we should return to
Olympia and not budge an inch from this strip of land
that is dedicated to the Olympic idea.

Mr. Marcou, I greet you
I sincerely believe, Mr. Marcou, that
your remarkable effort, your praiseworthy work and the offer of the Greek
Nobel Museum will be appreciated
accordingly by the Association of Visual
Artists and Writers, Atelier d'Alexandrie,
and by the Library of Alexandria. I have
co-operated with the Atelier d'
Alexandrie -as you have probably read
in my curriculum vitae - and I know that
it is a non-profit-making organization
with intense participation in the cultural
life of Egypt and not only. I consider that
contact and communication with you
through your work with these vehicles of
culture will be most constructive.
Besides, you share a common aim: to
boost cultural identity not only as natural heritage and a vested interest, but
also as an element of a uniform international language. Awaiting more news
from you, I remain respectfully yours.

• Books
Gentlemen,
A request: Start collaborating with
young critics of literature and writers so
that they speak about the books they
like. This would act as a compass to
guide us amidst the chaos of the thousands of books circulating on the market. With my warmest thanks.
Makis A. Antoniou, Ano Pefki

Dear Madam/Sir,
Good-morning. A few days ago we got
to know your magazine and we found it
extremely interesting. We, too, would
like to receive it regularly and to have
your news. How could we add it to our
collection? Thank you very much in
advance.
With respect, Dina Moustani

Thank you for you kindness in sending
me the very interesting March 2008
issue, number 15. If I can be of use to
you in any way, do not hesitate to tell
me.
Thank you.

Gentlemen,
The Non-Aligned Movement for Peace
(A.K.E.) agrees absolutely with the
Public Stand of the Athens Academy
concerning the name of FYROM.
History is a long-term process that has
been going on for ages, and not technical fabrications for serving certain intentions that ignore history and violate historical truth.
The peaceful co-existence of all peoples
of the region requests thinking out a
compound name with a strictly geographical context; and not the monopolization of a name that does not belong
to them and which resulted from Tito's
aspiration immediately after the end of
World War II, during which the Greek
people showed unprecedented heroism
and self-sacrifice, with hundreds of

Why we should abstain
from the
Olympic Games
in China
1) Because sport should not celebrate a bloodthirsty dictatorship.
2) There are as many death sentences in this country as in
the rest of the world put together.
3) We cannot end the commercial engine of the Olympic
Games, but the time has come to express publicly how ugly it
is to watch the Games go hand in hand with dictatorial communism. There is still time for civilised countries to declare
their abstinence; Bayrou, the leader of the central political party
in France has already announced this; it has also been suggested by Prince Charles of England, who has stated that he
will not be going to Beijing.
4) Because sport has nothing to do with celebrations of pain
and tears.
5) For the last 4 years, Darfur has been in the midst of a civil
war that began in Sudan. There have been more than 200.000
casualties and 2,5 million refugees. For the last 6 years, Beijing
has been the main supporter of the Sudanese government. It
has been buying 70% of Sudan's exports and has been supplying weapons. This alone should cause an outcry against a
country that exploits sport events to wash away all the negative issues.
6) China is a country in which children are forced to work
like slaves. The Chinese government encourages totalitarian
states that are harsh and oppressive, like the communist and
military regime in Burma.
7) China is a country without freedom of religion, where
individuals and monks, Catholics and members of other religions, are tortured and murdered.
8) However, it would not be better to follow the
idea of Mario Pescante, member of the
International Olympic Committee and ex president
of the Italian Olympic Committee, an idea that was
repeated in Rome by Konstantinos Karamanlis:
"we should return to Olympia and not budge an
inch from this strip of land that is dedicated to the
Olympic idea."

Readers’ Letters
We await your views on our magazine, as well as comments,
criticism and suggestions.
thousands of dead and incalculable
damage (we are still awaiting the
German war reparations) by the Nazi,
whom the inhabitants of the Skopje area
welcomed with boundless enthusiasm
as liberators.
No Nation and no socialistic solidarity
can oblige any Nation to ignore its cultural tradition and its history. All of us
grew up from childhood with stories of
Alexander the Great and the cursed serpent, the Mermaid sister of Alexander,
stories that have been put to music by
Hatzidakis, but also "Romiosyni" with
the music of Mikis Theodorakis, etc.
The Greek People have shown enough
good faith and peaceful intentions. But
since there is no response from the
other side, all the Political World and the
People side jointly with the Prime
Minister, who as their chief representative will fight the battle at the summit
meeting of NATO, projecting resolutely
the refusal of the Greek People to cooperate towards the undermining of our
country's history, cultural heritage and
territorial integrity.
We must particularly note the sensitivity
and responsibility of the President of
PASOK, Mr. Georgios Papandreou, who
hastened to support the Prime
Minister's effort in the difficult struggle
of our country at the Summit Meeting of
NATO in Bucharest.
We need to point out that the
Anglosaxons and the Americans, as well
as all Europeans, should read Aristotle
in his own language, in Greek, since the
superstructure of the so-called Western
European thought is based mainly on
his texts. Till now, no text, parchment or
inscription has been found written in the
Bulgarian idiom which the inhabitants of
the State of Skopje call the Macedonian
language…

• New Subscribers
Dear Sirs,
Accept my warmest congratulations and
those of the Association of Teachers at
the RALLEIOS EXPERIMENTAL GENERAL GIRLS' LYCEUM OF PIRAEUS where
I am director.
Your publication is a model of a cultural
magazine and a field for exchanging
spirit-loving thoughts.
Our wish is for your monthly periodical
to be included in our school library so
that our educational community
becomes part of the friends of the
Museum of the Hellenic Nobel
Collection. We would also like to
arrange with you a visit to the Museum
itself.
We thank you in advance.
The Director

• Meritocracy
Dear Sirs.
We are artists from Thessaly, friends of
Maria-Theodora Dimaki and, sincerely,
we were touched when we saw her
poem published beside the unknown,
anecdotal works by Robespierre, H.
Hesse, Einstein, P. Neruda, as well as of
Greek poets headed by Seferis, Elytis,
Kavafis, Dimoula, and others.
You chose her without knowing her personally because you liked the poem that
she had published. Congratulations!
This is the meaning of meritocracy in a
democracy. Well done, that there exist
intellectuals, publishers of such an elite
magazine and founders of an even more
elite Museum, who search for new talents outside political, social and other
networks… In this quest, one discovers
remarkable talents, such as Dimaki.
There are not many like you today. We
are very proud not only that you chose
Dimaki, but also because you created in
Greece such a Museum as the one we
saw on the Internet.

• Robespierre
Dear Director,
We brought to the University,
Department o French Studies, the issue
of your magazine with the unpublished
till now poem of Robespierre and we
demanded a correct and proven answer.
It is not possible for us to be taught for
two years about Robespierre as a synonym of the guillotine and suddenly, out
of the blue, for him to be presented as a
sensitive poet.
Is there any explanation? No one knew
anything on the subject, that is why we
are writing again to those who published
the anecdotal poem of Robespierre.
How was it found? Is it true that it
belonged to the Nobel Collection? What
is going on? Finally, the protagonists of
Europe, all well-known historical personalities, have two or three, or even fifteen faces and accordingly show one of
them… Usually when does the truth get
to be known? When a certain Marcou
decides to tell it to us?
Yours respectfully,
Dinos A. Dimadis, Alekos I.

have created the full-time position of Special Adviser for the
Prevention of Genocide and appointed a Special Adviser with a focus
on the responsibility to protect - the obligation accepted by all States
to act collectively, through the Security Council, when a population is
threatened with genocide, ethnic cleansing or crimes against humanity. I will spare no effort in working with Member States to translate
this principle from words to deeds...

NEW YORK, 25 APRIL 2008 - SECRETARY-GENERAL'S VIDEO MESSAGE ON WORLD MALARIA
DAY - ANNOUNCING VISION FOR UNIVERSAL
COVERAGE TO END MALARIA DEATHS
"... I spent the past
week in West Africa.
Like many who have
travelled to malariaendemic regions, I
knew that I could protect myself from contracting the disease
just by taking relatively simple preventive
pills and using a bed
net...
"... And yet, in the
time it takes me to
read this message,
six more children will
die of the disease.
Malaria still kills more
than one million people every year. The
toll it is taking is
unacceptable - all the
more so because
malaria is preventable
and treatable...
"... In recent years,
several African countries have made dramatic strides in
malaria control. But
the most affected
nations remain off
track to reach the
goal of halting and
reversing the incidence of the disease.
As we pass the midpoint in the race
towards the Millennium
Development Goals,
we desperately need to step up our efforts to roll back malaria...
"... That is why today, together with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership,
and my Special Envoy on Malaria, I am putting forward a bold but
achievable vision. The aim is to put a stop to malaria deaths by ensuring universal coverage by the end of 2010...
"... This initiative will offer indoor residual spraying, and bed nets
treated with long-lasting insecticide, to all people at risk, especially
women and children in Africa...
"... It will ensure that all public health facilities have access to effective malaria treatment and diagnosis...
"... It will provide ways to train, and retain, community health workers
dealing with malaria...
"... And it will encourage research and development for longer term
efforts to control, eliminate and eradicate malaria...
"... We have the resources and the know-how. But we have less than
1,000 days before the end of 2010...
"... So we urgently need your leadership and commitment. Let's get
to work".

"...The Olympic Games have always had a hymn of their own, their own
symbolisms, heroes and sponsors. In Beijing in 2008, they will also have their
own prisoners. The situation presents what can be viewed at least as a paradox. On the one hand, the Chinese government is building new stadiums for
the forthcoming Olympics and on the other, is arresting anyone who
denounces the countless violations of human rights that are taking place in
the country. The Chinese police are welcoming the Games by persecuting all
those who are reminding the public that in 2001 the authorities made endless
promises regarding human rights and the freedom of expression.
ÌåôÜöñáóç óôá åëëçíéêÜ: Íßêç Öéëéððïõðïëßôç
"...Shortly before the new year, 30 policemen in plain clothes entered the home
of Hu Jia, renowned defender of human rights, and arrested him. For the last
ten years, this young engineer has been fighting for the environment and
defending the rights of people with AIDS and political prisoners. He founded
one of the first organisations to provide support and care to HIV positive individuals - China has many and the state has abandoned them entirely. Before
Hu Jia's arrest, the police had blocked his phone line and internet connection
and terrified his young wife. She is blogger Zeng Jinyan, who was included in
"Time" magazine's 100 heroes of 2007. After the detainment of her husband,
Zeng Jinyan was placed under surveillance and was completely isolated along
with her 2-month-old daughter.
Hu Jia and Zeng Jinyan are brave defenders of the freedom of expression
in China and have been nominated for the European Parliament's Sakharov
Prize. Because they are known and respected by many foreign diplomats and
journalists, we believed that no one would touch them. We were wrong. Hu Jia
waited enthusiastically for the thousands of journalists that are expected to
visit China for the Games. He was intending to speak to the world about the
dissident Chinese that are persecuted by the authorities. He has always been
opposed to boycotting the Games. His nationalism have led him to believe that
the Olympics provide a valuable opportunity for China to open up to the world.
But today, Hu Jia has become the prisoner-symbol of the Olympics.
And he is not alone. Wang Dejia, an author who publishes on the internet, was
arrested on 13 December in the province of Guangxi. He was charged with
‘subverting state authority', because he published an article on his blog entitled ‘The Olympic Games in handcuffs will just bring misfortune on the population'.
This methodical and violent oppression was bound to result in a general outcry. All those who anxiously await the commencement of the 2008 Olympic
Games will be mobilised. It is impossible to participate in this celebration of
sport while ignoring the imprisonment of Hu Jia, Wang DIjia and other dissident Chinese. But the International Olympic Committee remains indifferent
and silent towards the numerous cries for help. The sponsors have the same
attitude, whereas international diplomats rarely defend Chinese political prisoners for fear of aggravating the authorities. We, as many others, hope that
Beijing will soften its stance, allowing these activists to express themselves
before and during the Games. However, the police has received strict orders
to arrest all dissidents, to place all international journalists on file and to set up
a blacklist for all foreign human rights fighters. This suppression by the government has resulted in the strengthening of dissident positions.
"...The Tibetans, advocates of religious freedom, and all those who feel that
Beijing has betrayed them, are organising a massive wave of protests that
is threatening to ruin the ceremonies and the games. There is no doubt,
however, that the only one responsible for this is the government of China".

"...This concept was endorsed unanimously by the UN International
Summit in 2005, but remains at the centre of debate, because it leaves
open the possibility for use of military force for the achievement of humanitarian intervention...
"...We believe the use of military force to be an extreme measure that is
necessary solely for the prevention of loss of human life. The first step is
the collection of confidential information that can facilitate the taking of
decisions regarding measures to avert disaster...
"...In the case of Zimbabwe, it is extremely difficult to collect unbiased
information. The Mugabe regime is systematically blocking independent
media, assails independent organisations and denies access to foreign
journalists, whereas those that are already in the country are arrested and
beaten...
"...On the day of the elections, on 29 March, there were foreign delegates
in Zimbabwe, which helped towards a peaceful election. However, these
observers are long gone and have provided information that suggests that
in certain areas those that oppose Mugabe live under a regime of terror...
"...Article 4 of the Constitution of the African Union provides for ‘the right
of the Union to intervene in a Member State pursuant to a decision of the
Assembly in respect of grave circumstances, namely: war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity', as well as when peace and security are
threatened...
"...In the case of Zimbabwe, the presence of unarmed observers from
other African states and their ability to provide objective information would
have sufficed to prevent the violence of the last few weeks from continuing and growing to such an extent that military intervention be required...
"...Unarmed observers could contribute so that the international food missions, on which a great part of Zimbabwe's population is now dependent,
could be dispensed fairly, irrespective of the political inclinations of those
who need them...
"...This year, thanks to the positive actions of former UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan, the African Union averted the violence that swept Kenya after
the elections. It appears that Zimbabwe is under a similar threat. Once
more, the African Union - with the support of the UN - should name a
leader that will prove that Africa has the ability and the will power to
solve a grave problem and to help the African people".

"...Putin's ‘imperial' choices might return the title of superpower to Russia,
but the price will be immense, perhaps even fatal, because Russia is thus losing its genuine soul, which is routed in people's hearts". This was an observation made by 1970 Literature Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn at
an interview on ‘Russia', one of the most popular radio stations.

These are words expressed according to the spirit of an author that feels
like the ‘voice of the people', of this Russian tradition that identifies
Tolstoy as its most emblematic, passionate and memorable representative. It was Solzhenitsyn's fate to survive through the gulag and to talk of
its pain and monstrosity. Solzhenitsyn's writings highlighted the silence of
those who could not find the courage to do the same.

Recently, the man who wrote The Gulag Archipelago gave substance to the
concerns of those who are wondering about the course followed by Putin's
Russia: "Russia has confirmed its international influence and has regained the
role that it had lost. Internally, however, morally, we are far from where we
wish and need to be".

What is the view of the 80-year-old author, who on the 13th of the last month
received the Russian President in his home and was presented by him with
the greatest honour in Russia, the State Award? For a country in which the
new majority - defined by Putin's political party, ‘United Russia' - could radically modify the constitution, this is not the right form of action. Solzhenitsyn
states that "there is still a need for deep and difficult progress, which cannot
be ensured by any government or parliamentary movement. This will be a
multifaceted progress, I would say mostly spiritual".

"These are difficult times", he had said earlier, "which are manifested
within a worrying and unstable activeness." The author has one recipe and
he repeats it whenever possible: "the soul of Russia needs to mature". This
is a metaphysical process with no guarantees for success. His argument is
simple: the current dominant philosophy of Greater Russia - in combination
with the siloviki and the neo-nationalists that adhere to Putin's views - has one
objective: the need to “save the nation”, protect it from the outside enemy.
An isolation syndrome.

But the former dissident, who was exiled in Kazakhstan in 1974 following the
gulag, does not embrace this theory and maintains that Russia is not yet sufficiently mature to accept farseeing national ideals. Political and economic
manoeuvres need to be accompanied by “intellectual evolution”.

The interview took place on the occasion of the Russian re-printing of The
Gulag Archipelago. Why had the book not been reprinted over the last 16
years, in the post-Soviet era? Solzhenitsyn replies that "this is because of the
circumstances, this is the way things are." Putin himself quoted
Solzhenitsyn in the Kremlin, when he announced the author's award: "We
are Russia. We are its body and blood, we are its people.".

Sole Copy of a manual of early
puzzles excites Leonardo
Da Vinci experts
Milano, May 2008, Matteo Versi
De Ludo Schacorum, the only surviving copy of Luca's Pacioli
leather-bound manuscript was laying unnoticed for centuries in a
private library before it was revealed to be a fabled volume just
over a year ago. A new claim that was made on March 25, 2008
indicates that there is a possibility that the manuscript's innovative and idiosyncratic illustrations are by Leonardo Da Vinci.
If true, it would mean that Da Vinci, apart from painting the
Last Supper, he was also the world's first, modern chesspuzzle illustrator.
De Ludo Schacorum was written in about 1500 and it is a collection of conundrums in which the challenge is to get to checkmate in a set number of moves. Although it was not the first of
its kind it distinguishes for the novelty and beauty of its illustrations. Franco Rocco, a Milanese sculptor and architect told the
Guardian that the elegance and the distinctiveness of the symbols that represent the king, queen, bishop and knight is one
of the several reason why he was certain that they were made
by Leonardo. Other reasons that conclude to this view are the
proportion of the pieces that coincide with the Golden Mean that
fascinated Da Vinci as well as the fact that the symbol used for
the queen had been used by the Tuscan painter for the design of
a fountain figuring in Atlantic Codex.
De Ludo Schacorum also known as the Schifanoia (the boredom
dodger) was untraceable until 2006. It was a dedication to the
marchioness, Isabella d'Este and her husband, the chess enthusiasts who took under their protection Leonardo and Paccioli in
1499 when Milan fell to France.
De Ludo Schacorum was among the many books that the
scholarly Count Guglielmo Coronini has bought in 1963 from
a Venetian poet and bibliophile.

In the case of contracts that maintain eligibility prevention or incompatibility, no reference is made to contracts for legal stipendiary instructions. It cannot be assumed
therefore that this contract is included within the service contract, if one considers
that the permitted rendering of legal services by a lawyer, as a judicial or legal consultant or as a lawyer with a fixed (annual or monthly) pay, cannot be modified; nor
can the legal instruction that binds lawyer to client. Had the legislator of this article, who was aiming towards the protection of the interests of local administration
bodies, wanted to include contracts for legal stipendiary instructions within the
mentioned cases of contracts that maintain eligibility prevention or incompatibility,
he would have stated this clearly.

As supported by the legislation of many European Courts and the
European Court of Human Rights: "Lawyers that have been recognised
as having a public role resulting from their contribution to a more
upright justice and who have been the exclusive representatives and
defenders of their clients before the courts and other authorities, are
legally bound to their clients with a paid instruction and not a service
contract. Therefore, neither contracts for paid instruction, nor contracts
for legal stipendiary instructions fall within the regulatory jurisdiction
of paragraph 3 A' of article 29 of Law 3463/2006".

We should therefore publicly congratulate the President of the Court of First

and Meropi Tsouloufa (Ms Meropi Tsouloufa was chairwoman). Lawyers
Polichronis Thomopoulos and Anna-Maria Tsikini also deserve congratulations for
bringing this current issue before the courts, an issue which had not concerned

These days begins the much awaited annual
tennis tournament in Rome, at the Foro Italico.
The two protagonists are the famous Roger
Federer (26 years old), a Swiss from Basel,
and Rafael Nadal (21 years old), a Spaniard
from Majorca. The Swiss R. Federer excels for
the elegance of his movements, for the excellent tactics he adopts, and for his traditional
style.
The Spaniard R. Nadal is the youngest opponent, with outstanding strength and pluck,
dubbed "wild tiger". He continually changes
tactics and devises new motions.
These are the two internationally upcoming
tennis-players.
Vassilis Priftis (30 years old) who participated
recently in the amateur tennis tournament of
business executives that was organized at the
Olympic Stadium of Athens (OAKA) from the
9th till the 18th of May by the magazine TENNIS INSIDER and the ‘SPYROS LOUIS’
Olympic Stadium, played with the colours
(mainly red) of the Museum of the Hellenic
Nobel Collection (See T-shirt in the photos).
He has studied marketing in England and today
is an executive in an advertising firm. Those
who were at OAKA when he played tennis and
watched the international tournament
observed that his game was something
between that of Federer and of Nadal. He follows the tactics of both.
We wish him a successful career.

THEATRICAL TOUR
Mozart has inspired generations of theatre people and among them the topranking dramatist of our time EricEmmanuel Schmitt, of whom we have
written many times in this column, since
he is particularly honoured not only by
Greek theatres, but also by the Parisian
ones. Spyros Evangelatos, a member
of the Academy in the Theatre chair,
undertook a difficult venture and realized
it successfully: To bring to life the
monologue "My life with Mozart",
played by the experienced and talented
Petros Fyssoun, and to guide us into
Mozart's "universe", with the stage
assistance and video filming of Paris
Mexis and the atmospheric lighting of
Melina Mascha, scientifically studied as
usual. The achievement was supported
by the smooth translation of Teta
Hatzichristou-Fyssoun, who managed
to render to the Greek language all the
hues and half-tones of this dramatic
monologue that was written by the former teacher of philosophy EricEmmanuel Schmitt.
Leda Protopsalti is an actress of protean talent, and she has mastered the
high art of transforming herself on stage
and of playing roles contrary to her
nature and her physique. After the role of
Ekavi from "The Third Wreath", it was
the turn of the folk singer Sotiria Bellou,
perhaps the last true singer of the
"rebetika". The "Stoa" Theatre, in the
student neighbourhood of Zografou, put
on stage the play of journalist Sofia
Adamidou "My name is Sotiria", an
adaptation of the authorized biography
she had written herself and which was
published by Patakis.
A stirring performance, where the singer
with her long-drawn-out deep (almost
masculine) voice spends the last night in
hospital before being operated on the
throat and having her most precious
organ removed, that which raised her to
the realm of the divine, over the miserable every-day life: her voice. "Death
strikes birds on the wing", says a popular Greek song.
The excellent actor Konstantinos Konstantopoulos directed this text for the
stage with a clear metaphysical mood
and with awe towards the divine spirit
that exists within us all, sinners and
righteous alike. Film director Loukia
Rikaki provided the performance with a
video, in which the actress converses
with the soul of Sotiria Bellou.
Eva Kaminari is extremely modest and
discreet in the role of a merciful nurse,
who is unwittingly harassed by the public idol, whose voice reminded one more
of Um Kulsum than of Edith Piaff .
Till recently, I had failed to understand
why Greek theatres (In Athens and in
Thessaloniki) repeatedly staged the play
of Brian Friel "Molly Sweeney" (1994).
It is the story of a woman who was born
blind and who later in life partly regains
her sight due to an operation, but ends
up in a mental hospital, unable to bear
the reality which she sees.
The doctor, her irresponsible husband,
who lives in his own world, and she herself recite endless monologues, in parallel, without communicating with one
another. This almost poetic, pre-theatrical form does not help the contemporary
spectator neither to identify with the
"drama" of the characters, nor to distance himself and to philosophize on
Light and Darkness, Truth and
Imagination, Nothingness and Infinity.
Nevertheless, the Athenian performance
at the "Metaxourgio" theatre, directed
by Maria Savva, who also played the
role of the blind woman who regains her
sight, showed off the philosophical neoPlatonism of the text, which comes to a
close with a note of pessimism worthy
of a Samuel Beckett.
The role of the doctor was rendered adequately by Christos Taktikos, while that
of the husband, named Frank, was
depicted satisfactorily by Aris
Troupakis. Finally, the performance
ended up as a one-woman show. That,
however, instead of turning out to the
detriment of the performance, in a
strange way stripped the text of its philological adornments and revealed it bare
to the audience.
The "Theatro tis Imeras", at Ambelokipi,
staged the play "The wall in the middle",
written by Vassilis Risvas and directed
by Petros Petrakis, with stage-design
and costumes by Andreas Sarantopoulos. Jenny Kallergi and Babis
Alatzas act the roles of two petit bourgeois who manage to escape their misery through love and their sincere interest in their neighbour, in a stuffy
Athenian block of flats, in an asphyxiating life that has become almost second
nature to them, till they decide to set
aside their petty pride. A first-class performance in this particularly atmospheric "small" theatre.

Mr Spyros Papadopoulos, is a talented actor who has also been a TV
presenter on NET (New Greek
Television) for the last four years.
Every week he works hard to maintain high viewing levels for his threehour show, which is dedicated to
Greek music and is entitled "To our
Health" (Cheers). This is a difficult
accomplishment in television. There
are occasions where this likable
actor is very successful, because he
has invited groups of actors and
singers that are talented and thus
there is good chemistry between
them; there are other occasions,
unfortunately, when it fails, despite
his constant ingenious comments.
38
The evening of our national holiday
(25 March 2008, 22:00) was a successful occasion, directed by
Stamos Birsim and edited by Dina
Xidi.
The show worked well, either
because the singers were excellent
(P. Velis, G. Lianos, P. Palezas, Zoe
Papadopoulou, A. Enitis, Aspasia
Theofilou and Akis Diximos), or
because, in my opinion, the attending actors were determined to do
their best. And congratulations to
them for succeeding. I would also
like to point out that all actors were
excellent and held even their most
critical audiences for at least three
hours. A record for television. A
notable example is the "zeimpekiko"
dance by Alexandros Bourdoumis,
followed by Giannis Tsimitselis who
tried to surpass his colleague. In my
opinion, Bourdoumis was "genuine"
(the mood guided the steps), whereas Tsimitselis was more ‘fake',
"acting" (he was successfully led by
the director...).
The two abovementioned talented
actors were accompanied by their
colleagues Orpheas Avgoustidis,
Tassos Kostis, Sofi Zaninou, Dinos
Avgoustidis, Charis Mavroudis,
Thanassis Tsaltabasis, Manos
Pintzis, Patrikios Kostis, Stefanie
Kapetanidi and others, all excellent
in their roles.
Dear Mr Spyros Papadopoulos, it is
not an easy feat to achieve the
presentation of shows with such
high viewing numbers for a fourth
year running.
Congratulations, therefore, for your
show on 25 March and for all you
have achieved so far.

"What is essentially our homeland, the one that determines and marks our
life?" This is the question that the eminent George-Alexander Mangakis poses
straightforwardly in his book, and he answers it by giving data that moulded
and continue to mould the Greek soul. In the first part, entitled "Longing for the
Greek spirit", he proudly introduces us to his Greece, presenting experiences
of an era, concerning gallantry, freedom, the voice of nature. Then, in the second part, he moves on to "ANTI-GREECE", the "despair of the Greek spirit",
painfully touching its wounds, those of the "dying sea", "the country that is
torn to bits", the "buried deep and betrayed history". Due to these and many
other wounds, the country "now bleeds to the bone", says G.A.M. in this book,
that is written with knowledge and awareness, with thought and dreams".

Magic expressionism is obvious in the paintings of Caterina Marcou. It negates
anything real and true and redefines it within a wild mythical force and alive,
extended colours. Within the exuberant manner of her paintings there is innocence and a lyrical reality that tames and converts the impossible into real. Her
landscapes are sometimes "likeably" billowy and other times fairytale-like and
lost in oblivion. These are landscapes that only the imagination and dreams can
produce. Her portraits tiptoe between a very dense psychograph and a liberating distractive naivety. Through particularly dry pictorial renderings, Marcou
takes us to secret dimensions and stops in nature by intensely capturing the
moment within her vision.

In the court
of Henry VIII
Passion, intrigue, jousts, theological disputes and betrayals at the royal palaces of
England. The young Henry the 8th, personified by the rich talent of Rhys Meyers, well
known from the film "Match Point", has been king for a few years. Married to Catherine
of Aragon, but not in love with her, he has erotic adventures with ladies of the Court.
Following the advice of Cardinal Wolsey, who aspires to become Pope, he forms ties
with France and Spain and later breaks them when he falls in love with Anne Boleyn.
Eager to divorce his wife in favour of Anne, he begins to provoke the Church and to
threaten the fragile religious balance of Europe, which has already been shaken by the
movement of Luther. This fascinating aspect of history, signed by the script-writer of
the film "Elizabeth", carries us away in a whirlwind of passion, where crude violence
mixes with the most frantic love. And we realize that in the royal palace the real
queen is intrigue.

«...It's a privilege for me to be here with you. It was forty years that
an assassin killed Dr. Martin Luther King, a man whose ideas still
affect the world.
«...Although I was a child I had inspired by Dr. King's ideas: social
harmony and empowerment of the poor with no racial distinctions.
As I grew older I became even more impressed by his ideas. Today
I would like to talk about his thinking, the aims of the United Nations
and how we can apply these principles.
«...Dr. King supported the work for the common good, which is
also a purpose of the United Nations. We must mention, that Dr.
King had a relationship with Ralph Bunche, who was the United
Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs. Both of
these men believed in equal rights, respect and dignity for all.
Needless to say, that Dr. King rejected violence and suggested education and
economic advancement. Even today, national leaders try to follow his steps in
the subject of poverty, in human dignity and equality. In that way, leaders of
wealthy countries fight against poverty, as they believe that they can learn from
developing regions.
«...Personally, I am optimistic about Africa, which is my continent. The improvement in economy, education and in the fight against diseases is obvious. Although
Africa has achieved progress, the proportion of poor is not declining fast enough.
What is needed is a fair trade regime that promotes development. So, people living
in poverty-especially the undervalued women become agents of change.
Let's look at Rwanda. It is women who are the forefront of the strides towards a
better world. The improvement of that country offers an example to every nation.
United Nations support that most problems, such as terrorism, AIDS, poverty,
racism and climate change need cooperation in a global level. All of this brings us
back to Dr. King. We can imagine how the world would have benefited from Dr.
King's global leadership...»

The feast of astronomy: For two years, Earth will rotate around Galileo.
Exhibitions, starting with the one organized in Florence, congresses,
talks, books, the decision of the U.N. to dedicate the year 2009 to
astronomy. And all this, because 400 years ago, in 1609, Galileo took a
telescope and decided to do something that no one else had thought of
doing till then: to look at the sky so as to see if it really was the Earth that
went around the sun, in which case Copernicus would be right, or vice
versa.
Paolo Galluzzi has a dream. Galluzi is director of the Museum of the
History of Sciences in Florence, which houses the optical instruments of
Galileo - two telescopes and a magnifying glass- that will be put on
show in an exhibition which will later travel to other towns too. Paulo Galluzzi's
dream is for people to be able to see what Galileo saw. "With the help of the specialized means provided by technology, we constructed five perfect copies of
the telescope and we started to take photographs according to Galileo's diary."
But Galileo had an eyesight problem. In the following months, his body, which lies
in Santa Croce, will be exhumed and, with the help of DNA tests, we will find out
what he was suffering from. The computers will adapt the photographs and we
shall be able to see exactly through the eyes of Galileo."

Paris, May 2008, Anna Maria della Rocca Priore Ximenes
There was bewilderment on Italian and Swiss radio stations
regarding the reasons for which he should be honoured by
the French Prime Minister! The mystery was solved the very
next day, when it became clear that in fact it was Professor
Frederic Mitterrand (born in 1947), that had been awarded for
his exemplary teachings as a historian, a geographer and an
economist at the bilingual High School in Paris. He was also
honoured for his subsequent excellence in his involvement in
French cinema, as well as his overall contribution to programmes for French television (TV5)... In other words this
award is far removed from his cousin Jean-Christophe and
the confusion of the two individuals is inexcusable... The
Parisian reception that was held for the award of Frederic
Mitterrand was attended by all the famous Mitterrands of
Paris, Mathieu, Jean-Gabriel, Olivier, Frederic(2). All the
intellectual descendents of Francois were present! Moreover,
we detected French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius(1), former
Secretary of the United Nations Dr Boutros-Ghali accompanied by his wife(3), Le Baron Eric de Rothschild(4), famous
British actress Charlotte Rampling(5), Mrs. Valerie Anne
Giscard d' Estaing(6), Princesse Chantal de France (7),
Madame Serge Moati and Madame Leila Menchari(8), as
well as other personalities who brightened the reception with
their presence, such as excellent painter Anna Karella and
others...
