[ExI] The La Sapienza-Pope-Physicists-Maiani Affair

[Amara Graps]

Tommaso Dorigo with the readers of his blog, has been covering the story
of the physicists' private-letter-made-public objecting to the Rome La
Sapienza rector's invitation to the Pope to speak at the university's
inaugural event, the students' sit-in against the Pope's speaking, the
Pope's withdrawal of his visit, the Italian politicians' reprisal
against one of the letter's signatures: Professor Maiani, to block his
CNR presidential candidacy, and words from Prof. Maiani, himself on the
whole situation. Whew! The links are here: (some of the comments are
useful information too).
