Back on an Italian theme, I thought that this was amusing. My uncle, Giovanni Zarra, when he was alive, used to be President of the Court of Cassation Corte Suprema di Cassazione. I'm pleased to see that they are carrying on his fine work and still making sound judgements.
It reminds me of the time when he was living in Naples. He had retired from public service and was in private practice. He was involved in a case where a woman had been murdered by being thrown off a roof. Naively I asked him if he was defending or prosecuting. He looked at me as if I was stupid and said, 'when it involves the mafia you only defend.'
