we may be sinners.
God is good, that He is our Father,

within all of us, because we are
His children.
If we can accept all of this in all
humility, if we can bring ourselves
to ask for God's forgiveness, and if
we can enter into the spirit of the
Church's Sacraments, then those
difficulties encountered during
life's journey, will encourage us to
do' something decisive and gener·

Fiat Tempra
Fiat's new four-door front-wheel
drive Tempra saloon, which went
on sale in the UK at the beginning
of September, marks the introduc·
tion of a challenge from Europe's
leading car manufacturer in the
most fiercely contested U K market
sector. Tempra is a challenger in a
market segment currently dominated by the Vauxhall Cavalier and
Ford Sierra. Against the best of the
competition, Fiat claims that Tern·
pra offers class-leading aerodyna·
mics, unmatched corrosion protec·
tion, high levels of ride comfort,
comprehensive standard equipment and impressive use of interior
space. With the introduction of
Tempra, Fiat now aim to be a
genuine contender in every major
segment of the UK market.
The new Tempra became available
from Fiat's UK dealer network on
September 1, in six versions
embracing five engine sizes;
1400cc, 1600cc and fuel injected
1800cc petrol, along with two 1.9
litre diesel engines, one of which is
turbocharged. There will be three
levels of trim: standard, SX and
SXie.

\
Built at the Cassino plant near
Rome, one of the most automated
and advanced car factories in the
world, Fiat claims that Tempra
continues its advances in quality
and reliability. The plant contains
advanced robot welding stations,
laser checking eqUipment, TV
cameras for automatic visual
checks, self-propelled trolleys and
state-of·the·art automatic corn·
ponent assembly devices. The
robot stations at Cassino do not
merely control and assemble car
components; they also monitor
chemical parameters of bodyshell
bonding, paint bodyshells inside
and out, measure geometric fit to
exceptionally fine tolerances,
assemble complex parts such as
the fascia, and carry out repetitive
tasks such as fitting of sound·
proofing and interior roof linings.

The new Tempra continues Fiat's
determination to provide some of
the best and most advanced cor·
rosion protection measures to be

Under Government instructions,
the majority oi Italian males were
rounded up and interned on the
Isle of Man. Few of them had
fascist leanings. And, like Maestri,
many were caught under terrifying
contradictions. cWho would they
fight? England or Italy?
"Ninety per cent of the people who
were interned", says Maestri,
"were people who had bettered
themselves and shouldn't have
been interned". Maestri was one of
the lucky ones. He joined the
newly-created 270 Alien Company,
a non-combat unit which was
based in Slough. Others were not
so fortunate.

passengers, 476 were Italian males
who had been taken from their
families to be deported. A torpedo

survivors. Worse, no one has ever
claimed responsibility for this act
of war. It's still a very touchy
subject for London's older Italians."

This is a first, therefore, which fills us with great joy.

"Ghost"
The big hit this summer (and still
going strong in,the autumn' - or
fall) is not "Dick Tracy" but
"Ghost" starring Patrick SW8lfze,
Demi Moore and Whoop! Goldberg. It's hard to tell you what it's
about without spoiling it in some
way. No, it doesn't have a bunch
of grotesuqe ghouls with vermin
spilling out of their brains, in fact
not much to offend the squeamish.
And if the publicity poster is Iik!l
the one here• then no, it's not one
sex scene after another.
The story is gripping all the way
through and the final outcome, is
always in doubt. With its emphasis
piaced on the legal an(j forensic
investigation of the crime, it also
provides an interesting insight into
the American legal system and
court procedures. Greta Scacchi's
role as thrusting attomey is well
played and is one of the most
attractive corpses on film. Harrison
Ford is good, as usual, in a role
calling for his earnest intensity, but
what a funny hairstyle. Bonnie
Bedelia puts in an excellent performance as the tormented wife, innocent victim of her husband's
affair, and then living through the
stress of his arrest and court
appearances.

Cavalleria Rusticana Sinopoli, for
me, gives his best operatic recording to date. Detail after detail is
illuminated in the score. His pacing
from the very opening tells you this
is a well thought- out performance.
His speed for Alflo Is taken faster
than in other sets I've heard and
gives a feel of urgency which
makes you think yes, Alfio is in a
hurry to get back to the woman he
loves (although she has been un·
faithful to him with Turiddu). Also
Sinopoli brings out all the beauty
of the great "Inneggiamo Signor",
the Easter hymn. In all the socalled set pieces, his orchestra,
the Philarmonia, play with much
feeling yet Sinopoli gives the work
a whole look rather than going
from to aria as in some other
recordings.

Learning Through Play:
we have to learn is who we are.
Veloce Come Un Grillo uses Don
Wood's paintings of animals to
make childre;'l aware of their attributes and changing moods. It is a
linguistic treat, widely recommended in schools.

we have a goal, when we are

today.
A British publisher, Child's Play
(InternationaQ Ud. has a programme of learning through play,
which has led a revolution in chil·
dren's publishing.
From the first, there was a close
association with Italy. One of the
founders, Adriana Grande, is Italian. Some of tlie earliest publications were conceived, written and
illustrated in Italy.
The programme is rapidly being
translated into Italian, too. The first
thirty titles are already available in
Italy and in the U.K. This is of
importance not only so that Italian
children can discover that learning
is child's play, but for children
learning Italian or EngliSh as a
second language, possibly using
both editions together. All the
books below are illustrated
throughout in full colour.
Traditional: Of the thirty titles
published by Child's Play in Italian,
only 11 Gatto Indipendente, could
be described as "traditional". A
classic Kipling Just-So Story, it
was selected for sheer beauty and
flow of ideas and language.
Self Awareness: The first thing
28
Tactile Activity: L'Omino di Pane
di Zenzero tells the classic story of
a gingerbread man who is chased
by the whole Village until he is
tricked and eaten by the fox. In
this unique novelty book, we can
actually move the hero from page
to page, until finally he disappears
down the fox's throat -. and reappears at the beginning of the
book.
Chjld~Play
Gallina Che Sapeva Nuotare is
based on close real life observation by Paul Adshead. The story
carries a strong message of love
and loyalty. Pictures hidden within
the pictures add a unique play
feature to tantalise adults and children alike.
Information: Where do babies
come from? Conosco un Segreto,
provides the answers, starting with
the types of questions children
really ask and using pictorial analogies to provide simple answeres.
There is also a frieze, to be used at
parents' discretion, which shows
stage-by·stage development of the
feotus. Equally invaluable to find
out where I came from or to chart
the progress of a brother or sister
to be.
Serious Child's Play: Life is not
always fun. Once we know who we
are, we want to find· out more
about the world we live in. If we
listen to their. questions, we realise
that young children see many serious issues in black·and-white
terms and enjoy thinking about
them and their responsibilities.
A series Which helps children to
learn to share and care is Chi Si
Preoccupa? The four titles are
Persone Speciali (an introduction
for 3·5 year olds), Persone Desabili, Persone Anziane, and Tutte Le
flazze (for children from 5-12).

We are still on our honeymoonl
over a distance of say, forty yards.
After two home Internationals, England remain undefeated and more
importantly have secured two
points against Poland in their campaign for a place In the 1992European Nation Cup Finals.
That is undoubtedly a valid comment but seems to be much more
a reflection on the fact that England sides are still trying to get
used to playing with the sweeper
system than a reason for breaking
up what is clearly an outstanding
combination.
On the face of it, all Is sweetness
and iight between the press and
the England Manager, Mr. Graham
Taylor.
Nevertheless, I do just detect one
or two murmurs of discontent. He
has not surrounded himself on the
b~nch with colleagues of international experience. It was felt that
this was demonstrated by the initial selection of Bull and then' his
substitution early in the second
half by Waddle at the same time
as an injured Uneker was replaced
by Bardsley. The fact that Beardsley then scored an opportunist last
minute goal was thought by many
to be justification for their view that
the Uverpool player, who has had
an outstanding season to date,
should have started the match.

Sadly Barnes remains anonymous

Bull may be suited for the next
'match against the Republic of
Ireland, unless he does demonstrate an ability to adapt to the
international game, his place up
front may well have to go to
another striker and my preferred
choice would be Southampton's
Matthew Le Tisier.
I have also seen the view
expressed that lf England play a
sweeper system, they are wasting
their attacking options by selecting
additional full backs. Instead, they
should pick mid-field players who
have some defensive ability and
who may be able to distribute the
ball rather better than merely hitting speculative crosses into the
box which tends to be the prefer.
red option of Oixon and Pearce.
After all, some managers have
paid extravagant sums of money
for mid-field players only then to
expect them to play as traditional
full backs (witness Paul Ince at
Manchester United). The Arsenal
double winning side had two converts in' Frank McUntock from·mid
field to defence and Peter Storey
from full back to mid·field. So why
not pick genuine right and left

think there should also be a representative from the Professional

Gnocchi
Place a pan containing the butter cut into small
pieces, the milk and the sail on the stove. As soon as
the milk starts to boil remove from heat. Add the flour
a little at a time beating with a whisk so as not to
form lumps. Replace on the stove and leave for
about 3 minutes, mixing with a wooden spoon. Allow
to cool. Cook the spinach, drain it thoroughly and
chop it finely. Add it to the milk and flour mixture,
then add the eggs one at a time, making certain that
one egg is blended in before adding the other one.
Mettete sui fucco iI latte, iI burro tagliato a pezzetti ed
iI sale. Appena iI latte alzera' iI bollore levatelo dal
fuoco ed unite la farina un po' alia voila, mescolando
con una frusta in modo che non si formiino grumi.
Rimettete sui fuoco e lasciatelo per circa 3 minuti
mescolando con un cucchiaio di legno. Lasciatelo
intepidire. Lessate i spinaci. Strizzateli molto bene e
tritateli finamente. Aggiungeteli al composto di latte e
farina. Aggiungete anche le uova, uno alia voila,
mescolando bene. Alia fine unite iI parmigiano e la
noce moscata.
Finally add the parmesan cheese and nutmeg. With
this mixture make gnocchi as large as a walnut. (Dip
your fingers in the flour to avoid getting them sticky).
Place them in a large (14" x 9") greased oven·
to·tableware dish.
Infarinatevi le mani e fate da questo composto tanti
gnocchi grande come una noce. Disponeteli su un
largo piatto da forno (di circa 36cm x 22cm) gia'
imburrato.
Sauce
Salsa
Ughtly fry the butter. Add the flour and mix with a
small whisk to avoid forming lumps. Stir in the milk
cream and stock cube. Continue whisking until the
sauce comes to the boil. Pour it over the gnocchi
making sure to cover them all. Bake in pre-heated
oven no.6/200C for 25 minutes.
Fate soffrigere 20 gr burro e unite 20 gr farina
mescolando con una piccola frusta che non si
formino grumi. Aggiungete 250 gr di latte, la panna e
mezzo dado sbriciolato. Sempre mescolando, portate
la salsa ad ebolizione poi versatela sui gnocchi
ricoprendoli tutti. Cospargeteli con iI formaggio.
