24 September 2009. Gray morning, gray gull over pool, glimpsed for an moment...
Marcello Mastroianni, bringing his charming Italian je ne sais quoi to the wintery environs of Torino--the Fiat factory strike, sometime after 1900... Image of the worker as Genovese extra--the café faces, clenched fists, worry and doubt, but a willingness to listen, maybe even follow. His narrow-rimmed university specs--the student--better with Schiller under his arm than Plekhanov or Marx...
François Noël-Babeuf--a society of equals...
Mourant de faim, mourant de froid...
