Walter Veltroni denuncia la debolezza della politica di fronte al ricatto dell'opinione pubblica, il cedimento dell'etica e del pudore sotto i colpi della società delle immagini e della comunicazione totale, riportandoci con la memoria al giorno in cui il nostro sguardo perse l'innocenza.

How does an ordinary-colored-girl get her own talk show in 1973 covering Southern New England? Not by being a good girl. She wasn't always bad, she'd tell you. It wasn't until she met "him".
