Tim Hedges

Many thanks - and congratulations - to Tim Hedges for providing the first Sunday Essay.  Thanks also to every other CoffeeHouser who sent in a submission.  If the various authors don't mind, we'll consider some of those submissions for future Sundays.  If any other CoffeeHousers would like to submit an essay, please click here for further information - Pete Hoskin  Italy has had more written about it in the European and American press this year than at any time since 1994 (the year of the ‘mani pulite’ clear out of the old political order and emergence of Berlusconi as a political figure).
