Issue 274 contains a bilingual insert (Italian/English, 16 pages), which is also printed and distributed separately: "Against Globalisation" by Adriano Paolella and Zelinda Carloni is conceived as a useful tool offering information on the subject, also in view of the anti-G8 event in Genoa.

Again on the subject of globalisation, inside the magazine is a presentation of the book by Helena Velena "Il popolo di Seattle" [The people of Seattle].

The front and back covers, on the other hand, are devoted - together with most of the "To the readers" section - to our new Fabrizio De André CD and booklet.

The recent elections are the subject of the editorial by Carlo Oliva entitled "Electoral Residues", as well as the stimulus for the column by Carlo E. Menga "I confess that I voted" and that of Felice Accame with "Orpheus and Eurydice at the polling stations".

The German antinuclear movement is the focus of an exhaustive article, with a list of contacts and internet sites, by P.Kamper and F.De Libero, "Stop that train!".

The Argentinian situation is looked at in depth in Leslie Ray's interview with Osvaldo Escribano and Antonio Lopez on the history of anarchism and the repression of the seventies, and the article "Tango bent low" by Massimo A. Rossi on the current - rather uninspiring - social and economic reality.

In "Neither authoritarianism nor goody-goodyness", Francesco Codello deals with pedagogy and the pill for hyperactive children.

In "Reflections that are... too homely" Romano Giuffrida reflects critically on the new book by Guido Viale "A casa" [At home] which misses the opportunity for an in-depth reflection on the period of struggle of the sixties and seventies.

Guido Lagomarsino writes on the Book Fair in Turin.

The part devoted to the book publishing industry is concluded with the column "libertarian review", with suggestions for reading by Dino Taddei (readings in black), Gianni Quartana and Danilo Tavernari (handicaps and science fiction) and Massimo Ortalli (five anarchists of the south).

In "Music and Ideas", Marco Pandin discusses kletzmer music, while Mario Bossi presents the label "Bar la Muerte" and their productions, strictly limited to less than 500 copies.

Postal art is the subject of the interview by Maria Mesch with Enrico Ciceri (n-euro.vision) and Ruggero Maggi (Milan Art Center).

The mailbox contains another letter on... Leda Rafanelli, by Mattia Granata.
