The link above (Decreto 73/07) is a specific selection of 'precarious' 
workers (administratives,
researchers, etc.) that can be 'stabilizzati', that are going to be 
'stabilizzati' only after a specific
selection, that cannot be 'stabilizzati'. It's all done with smoke and 
mirrors.

What I remember most, however, is not Weisskopf's comment, but a story 
told by Stephan Berko, my freshman physics professor in 1966-67, who 
was also in the audience at that talk. After listening to the rather 
inconclusive discussion among Mermin, Weisskopf, and others, Berko 
recalled something that Bohr said to him- in fact, the only thing Bohr 
ever said to him directly. Berko had been visiting the Institute for 
Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen in 1958 and attended a holiday party, 
which featured a magic show. After watching some particularly baffling 
magic tricks, Bohr turned to him and said, "It's all done with smoke 
and mirrors!"
