He enlists the aid of his lifelong buddy, Aldo Scalicki, a confirmed bachelor who tries, without apparent success, to convince Huey that he would be better off sticking with his new lady friend, Teresa, a usually placid young waitress whose indignation flares when she learns what Huey is up to. In a moonlit balcony scene (hilariously reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac) Aldo pleads his lovesick friend's case and, to his astonishment, Janice capitulatesalthough not for long. However we do learn that her earlier abuse of Huey was intended to make him "act like a man" which, at last, he does. And, more than that, he (and the audience) become aware that, in the final essence, "the greatestand onlysuccess is to be able to love"a truth which emerges delightfully from the heartwarming, wonderfully antic and always imaginatively conceived action of the play.

BEIJING: Chinese TV commentator Huang Jianxiang has apologised for his pro-Italian anti-Australian rant to an audience of many millions at the end of the World Cup match between the two teams on Monday. \n\nAfter Italy’s controversial last-minute penalty, which saw them through to the quarter-finals, Huang gave vent to his love of Italian football and his disdain for an Australian team he said was packed with players who lived in Europe. His remarks sparked a huge debate in China and rumours spread through internet chat rooms all day Tuesday – that a group of Australians had protested at the foreign ministry, the Australian embassy had complained to CCTV and Huang had been sacked. \n\nThe initially unapologetic Huang, who was backed by 50 percent of voters in one online poll, reconsidered his position and a letter was posted on the website of state-run CCTV. “I am familiar with Italian football and I hoped that the Italians would gain a berth in the last eight, to make the matches more exciting, but I have mingled my feelings and the role of my job. “It is not a standpoint that a TV commentator should have. I will apologise to those fans who express their dissatisfaction.” he said. Reuters\n\n\nPenalty! Penalty! Penalty! Grosso's done it, Grosso's done it! The great Italian left back! He succeeded in the glorious traditions of Italy! Facchetti, Cabrini and Maldini, their souls are infused in him at this moment! Grosso represents the long history and traditions of Italian soccer, he's not fighting alone at this moment! He's not alone! \n\n"Goooooal! Game over! Italy win! Beat the Australians! They do not fall in front of Hiddink again! Italy the great! Left back the great! Happy birthday to Maldini! Forza Italia! The victory belongs to Italy, to Grosso, to Cannavaro, to Zambrotta, to Buffon, to Maldini, to everyone who loves Italian soccer! Hiddink ... lost all his courage faced with Italian history and traditions ... He finally reaped fruits which he had sown! They should go home. They don't need to go as far away as Australia as most of them are living in Europe. Farewell!"

Have you by any chance checked the family web site for information?  It is http://www.aaallen.net/.  Since they have the copyright on all his books and sermons, they may be able to provide what you are looking for.

Thank you! I totally agree! I am all for it. If you kill someone you have already ruined a families lives forever, the least they can get is to know that you can't hurt another family. Wait, is this Paul or the Italian friend that asked?

I think santaria is a very interesting example of religious syncretism between west african beliefs and catholicism.  I am not Catholic but I think if someone is true to Catholicism and the legitimacy of the pope then they would have to reject Santaria.  That is just my opinion though.  I find it very interesting how much variation there is in catholicism despite the authority of the vatican.

Well, I'll tell you, but first let's clarify what really happened.  A fellow named Cascioli had been determined for some time to make the point that the Church preaches as facts things that can not be entirely and exactly proven by historians.  (For instance, many scholars believe Jesus was actually born in 4BC, though some calendar inconsistencies shouldn't be much of a problem for a person's faith.)  In Italy, there are a couple of laws originally put on the books to deal with con-artists, but not as carefully written as they could have been.  The laws prohibit intentionally telling people falsehoods in order to make money.  Cascioli believes that this law should prohibit the Catholic Church from telling unprovable stories and collecting donations.  To sue the Church, he had to name a particular defendant, and he chose an old, childhood friend, a local parish priest named Rev. Enrico Righi.  (Both are in their 70s.)\n\nThe local court threw out the law suit a couple times before finally agreeing to hear it.  Observers pointed out that the law was clearly not intended to be used in this way, which could even interfere with schools teaching philosophy, because we only know the teachings of Socrates by hearsay (Plato, et al.).  The court agreed.\n\nReverend Righi was never at risk of going to jail or anything dramatic like that.  A case like this couldn't arise in the US, because we don't have those particular laws here, and because the First Amendment protects our free exercise of religion and freedom of speech.  (European law tends to restrict speech more.)  Many American Christians would be surprised to learn that the dreaded ACLU has championed the Christian cause when anyone has tried, like old Cascioli, to misuse the law in this way.  Hope this helps.

Ellis Island – Italians\n\nMy grandmother and grandfather arrived in Canada instead of Ellis Island, so I do not have any directly family stories to share.  However, I have seen several very informative History Channel programs on Ellis Island with include the Italian connection!\n\nNow, depending on what your interest is (history, family roots, class project, etc), there are several ways to research this topic:\n\n* Go to the local VFW or other locations where veterans might be located and ask them if anyone has Italian roots that may have family that came through Ellis Island.  If you mind some, and the odds are good that you will, you may be able to interview some people who parents or grandparents may have come through and even be willing to share pictures with you.\n\n* Today, Ellis Island is part of the USA National Parks Service (NPS).  They maintain a site with a lot of information about the Ellis Island Museum.  They have a lot of things available for the public who may want to know any number of things about the site.  There are also a number of pictures on their website that you cut and past into your own document.\n\n* It also turns out that there is an Ellis Island website dedicated to preserving the memory of this historic port of entry into the USA - http://www.ellisisland.org/\nYou will find personal and family stories at the site and can even search the historical records to identify when certain individuals came to the States.  I even looked up my mother’s madden name and found five individuals who came through Ellis who may have actually been distant relatives.\n\nThus with a little imagination and some research, you should be able to find a lot of information around the Italian immigration through Ellis Island.\n\nGood Luck.

There is a book called Fraction Pizzas.  I've used it before...great resource.  Can't remember the author off hand and the author wasn't listed on Amazon.  They did have the ISBN number.  You can use this to order from another source...or it would help librarians at your local library.  The ISBN number is  0768209633

OK...\n\nI knew I had seen something about this before.  I found a transcript from a CNN story telling about a story that would appear that evening on the show Newsnight (Aired December 3, 2002 - 22:00 ET).  I can't find a transcript online. \n\nApparently Whitey and William Bolger were doing very different things at the same time.  Whitey, it appears, was a gangster, head of "the Irish Mob," while William was "a power broker" and president of The University of Massachusetts in Boston.  \n\nI found this story about the Bolger Brothers online:\nhttp://www.goldtalk.com/discuspro/messages/100/13094.html?1060202038\n\n\nYou might be interested in these books:\nStreet Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Irish Mob \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586420631/ref=pd_sl_ov_alx-jeb-8o-1_book_3312977_1/103-8380677-2077424?n=283155\n\nand\n\nPaddy Whacked : The Untold Story of the Irish American Gangster \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060590033/102-2800740-3915300?v=glance&n=283155\n\n\nYou may also want to check this broadcast on March 17th:\nhttp://wbai.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=5221&Itemid=42
