| A study of 237 sixth-graders in Bresso, near Milan, found an average backpack load of 20 pounds, which equaled 22 percent of the body weight of the children carrying it, says study coauthor Stefano Negrini, a rehabilitation specialist at the Don Carlo Gnocchi Foundation Hospital in Milan. Peirce Schmidt's romantic fantasy, Gesualdo, based on composer Don Carlo Gesualdo's murder of his wife and her lover, is so fraught with melodramatic imagery that it becomes comical. Ironically, he is the self-appointed Augustinian of the book, while the Holy Father Don Carlo seeks to advance the Pelagian cause through ecumenicism. |
