3 3 Dear Reader, On 19 August 1944 the Slovene National Liberation Council established the Statistical Office of Slovenia. This year we are thus celebrating 60 years of national statistics in Slovenia. To mark this anniversary, we prepared this publication entitled 60 Years of National Statistics in Slovenia. The publication presents a selection of events surrounding the development of national statistics in Slovenia and its co-operation with the international environment. Our objective was by no means to pass historical and professional judgement of the road travelled by our predecessors. All this time, Slovenia had internationally distinguished statistical experts and excellent directors of the Statistical Office. Short biographies of directors and acting directors are part of this publication. The evaluation of the contribution of individual statistical experts, the quality of statistics and their importance for managing the society will be a demanding task for the future. We are convinced that because of the importance of statistics in every society this is necessary since the development of the statistical activity reflects the level of democracy in a society and presents an important part of the history of every nation. At the same time, we must do that out of respect for our statistical predecessors who have broken new ground in that field during the Second World War and especially after it. The foundations of a modern, register-based statistical system were established in the 1970s and 1980s. This was later on supplemented by full enforcement of international standards, which started to be introduced at the beginning of the 1990s, even before Slovenia won independence, and reached their peak with the transition to a market economy and accession of Slovenia to the European Union. We would like to thank numerous institutions and individuals who helped us to collect written and photographic material. We could not use all sources for this publication, but they will be important for future preparation of a more detailed history of statistics in Slovenia. I would like to congratulate everybody who in any way contributed to the present development of Slovene statistics as well as to everyone who is or was employed by the Statistical Office on this anniversary. Ljubljana, September 2004 Irena Kri`man Director-General of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia

5 5 In 2004 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia is celebrating 60 years of existence of official statistics in Slovenia, which will be marked by the anniversary celebration and publishing of this anniversary publication. At its session on 19 August 1944 the Slovene National Liberation Council adopted the Resolution on the Establishment of the Statistical Office. Historically speaking, six decades is not a very long time. Anyhow, this time distance is just about right for a scientific discipline to be able to review the road travelled and to learn about its fundamental characteristics. Anniversaries provide a chance to talk about the jubilant and to present it to the public, so that it will be able to get to know it better. This was the main objective that the authors of this publication tried to attain with their contributions, the ambition of which was nevertheless also slightly higher. With this publication the Statistical Office wishes to improve understanding of the past as well as to prepare additional bases for future historical studies. Therefore, chapters in this book are also significant as the CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF STATISTICS IN SLOVENIA However, the history goes back a lot further. It goes back to 1754, when the first census of population on the territory of the present-day Slovenia was conducted. In 1863 the first independent statistical service was created in Vienna. After the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Slovenia became a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and the central statistical service of this country was the General National Statistics in Belgrade. We have divided our 60 years into four periods by historical landmarks. The sources for these periods differ considerably both in terms of type and volume. Various sources have been taken into account: publications and documents, legal bases, reports, descriptions and results of statistical activities as well as other written, pictorial and oral sources forming an extensive archives waiting for historical treatment. The periods were delimited according to the historical position of Slovenia and the development of statistics, which was influenced by social changes in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and later on by the independence of Slovenia and its accession to the European Union. For the first half of the period under review, i.e. from the Second World War to 1974, not much pictorial material was preserved. However, for a researcher it is very fortunate that a summary of the development of statistics is available that has already been processed and published in four publications marking 30 years of Yugoslav and Slovene statistics. As the main source for the first two periods these publications were simply remarkable, since time distance is such that it is difficult to find witnesses and people who have experienced those times an important historical source for throwing light on written archive facts. A careful reader will no doubt notice the unity of sources and dependence on historical publications for the first three decades, since the two subsequent periods differ in the presentation of the material as well as in the photographic design of the book.
6 6 For the period, completely different sources were available studies, reports, papers and articles in internal magazines, which have been published more or less regularly and present a chronicle of events, unfortunately not for all years. Examination of old issues of the magazine Statistik was a special experience for authors, since some of us have been personally involved in activities at the then Institute for Statistics. The more we drew closer to 1991, the more material there was, which had to be and still has to be examined if we want to know our past well. There was more professional co-operation with written materials and minutes, project work, international co-operation. It was much easier to obtain written records of discussions taking place when acts were adopted, and initiatives and studies were written down. Ever greater emphasis was put on promotion activities; there were more publications, proceedings volumes and other written material. After 1991 it was joined by materials from international participation in various meetings, conferences and seminars. It was not easy to extract from this vast material that which should represent the historical core of modern Slovene statistics and not willingly or unwillingly leave out or simplify some things. The authors have therefore summarised the contents on the basis of their knowledge and experience, taking into account the selected sources that will provide support for future researchers in their efforts. A reader will notice that this book is not about individuals it describes events. Of course, there is no history without individuals people are its creators. However, this publication cannot present everybody that would deserve to be presented. To avoid being unfair, which would definitely happen if we wanted to list everybody important, we decided that this book will tell the story about modern Slovene statistics and not the story about the people who created it. Of course, 60 Years of National Statistics in Slovenia is not only the story about the Statistical Office, but also the story about statisticians in public administration, at universities, in secondary schools and companies. This book does not attempt to present a complete review; it mostly deals with official statistics. In order not to remain in this close framework, the co-operation of the Statistical Office with the Statistical Society of Slovenia, which unites statisticians from various areas, and with the teaching community, which takes care of knowledge and new young experts, is also briefly described. Above all, this publication should present our past to the Slovene and international public. It should refresh the memory of employees of the Statistical Office and those of us who used to work for it but are now working in other institutions about the times when valuable experiences were gained and believe me there were many. And last but not least, may it help the efforts that a true historical book will be published some day. Its preparation will be somewhat easier since it s authors will be able to draw from the contributions to the history of Slovene statistics that we prepared at this anniversary and from the archives of documents and photographic material that we collected from our colleagues to this end. Let me therefore thank everybody who helped collect, prepare and design the material. Let me also wish them to rejoice in this anniversary and stimulate successors to record as thoroughly as possible the future events, so that the future historical book will have factual sources and will be able to present our time objectively.

9 Obdobje ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATISTICAL OFFICE AND THE FIRST POST-WORLD WAR II YEARS The first statistical office in Slovenia was established during the Second World War on 19 August 1944 and was called the Statistical Office. The decree on the establishment of the statistical office determined its tasks and the first report about its activities was prepared in the same year. The report stated the principles of statistical activities and summed up the most important tasks. Next year the Statistical Office of Slovenia was re-established in accordance with the federal legislation and started to operate according to guidelines of the federal statistical office of the Federal People s Republic of Yugoslavia. The role of the then Office was to co-ordinate work of statistical services established by individual ministries and statistical tasks of district and county people s committees. One of the first tasks was to determine the situation after the war in various spheres of life. The Office organised censuses and used data to set up registers population census data were, for example, used to set up the Register of Permanent Population in municipalities. This role of the Office was so important that in 1951 it was renamed the Republican Institute for Statistics and Records at the Economic Council of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. Regular annual and monthly statistical surveys started to be introduced and their number soon increased. They also took care of publishing the results. The first Statistical Yearbook of the People s Republic of Slovenia was published in 1953 with data for the period from the end of the Second World War to The description of statistical yearbooks is included in this chapter, although as the text on publishing activity and the Office s headquarters at Vo`arski pot 12 it refers to the whole period of 60 years.

11 BIRTH OF THE STATISTICAL OFFICE DURING THE NATIONAL LIBERATION WAR At its session on 19 August 1944, the Presidency of the Slovene National Liberation Council (SNOS) adopted a resolution to establish the Statistical Office. The fact that a central statistical office was established first in Slovenia even before the Decree on Organising the National Statistical Office of Yugoslavia was adopted has a great historical significance. It was determined that the Office be headed by a director appointed by the SNOS Presidency. Tasks of the Office were stated in Article 2 of the decree on the establishment: Organising and managing all data important for the public life of the people in Slovenia, Dealing with data according to scientific principles and Co-operation with institutions and bodies of Slovene national authorities as regards providing data, opinions and advice. As regards its activity, the Office was responsible to the SNOS Presidency. In his report of 26 November 1944, the head of the Office emphasised the preparation of common guidelines for collection and central processing of data and warned about the problems that the Office had in collecting data as well as the need for qualified human resources.

Dopis Urada za statistiko SNOS z dne Draft Decree on the Establishment of the Office for Statistics at the SNOS Presidency, adopted at the session of the Presidency of the Slovene National Liberation Council on 19 August 1944.
12 Work was done by the Office with the help of statistical offices established at the regional national liberation committees for Primorska (in November 1944) and for Gorenjska. At the end of the Second World War statisticians were given other tasks, so the Statistical Office was left without any personnel. Mr. Alojz (Lojze) Dular, Director of the Statistical Office in Mr. Alojz (Lojze) Dular (*1903, 2002). In 1926 he graduated from the Technical Faculty in Ljubljana Mining Department and got a job in Trbovlje Coalmine. At the start of World War II he was Director of the Coalmine. The Germans dismissed him in He went to Ljubljana and participated in the National Liberation War from the very beginning. He was assigned to work at the SNOS Presidency, acting as the head of the industry, reconstruction and statistics department. He was a member of the scientific institute at the SNOS Presidency where he was appointed first director of the Statistical Office. After the war he went to Belgrade, where he was working in various ministries until 1963 when he came back to Slovenia and was for three years, until his retirement, the Vice-President of the Slovene Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Zv. 2, Ljubljana: Mladinska knjiga, str. 394 From that period only data in the form of records and documents on the establishment and organisation of the statistical service are preserved. On 14 December 1944, i.e. four months later, the Decree on the Organisation of the National Statistical Office of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was issued on the island of Vis. Decree on the Appointment of the First Head of the Statistical Office at the SNOS Presidency, Mr. Lojze Dular, who was appointed Director of the Office in the Decree in the Establishment of the Office for Statistics at the SNOS Presidency.
13 REBIRTH OF THE STATISTICAL OFFICE OF SLOVENIA In accordance with the Decree of the Federal People s Republic of Yugoslavia, on 16 June 1945 the National Government of Slovenia established the Statistical Office of Slovenia at its Presidency. The task of the Statistical Office of Slovenia was to collect, process and publish all general and special statistics from the territory of the Republic of Slovenia following the guidelines of the federal statistical office and to take care of co-ordination of all statistics kept by any national authority and public institution. These authorities and institutions had to submit drafts of all censuses they intended to conduct on their territories for review and approval by the Office. By the end of June 1945, all ministries had to establish their own statistical divisions. The Statistical Office of Slovenia had to appoint a special statistical commission for each statistical sector as an advisory body for dealing with specific issues. With the regulation of 22 September 1945, independent statistical branch offices at district and county people s committees were established as assistance to the republic office in organising and implementing statistical actions. The Government of Slovenia was aware that a good statistical service is the cornerstone of successful planning of economic development of the republic and the state. It established a relatively large statistical service compared to other government institutions, which during the economic reconstruction meant a considerable burden on the budget. In 1948 statistical services in republics were regulated with a federal regulation. Their responsibilities were directly determined as well as the relations between the federal office on the one hand and the republican and local offices on the other. Ms. Silva Exel-[kerlak, Director of the Statistical Office of Slovenia in Ms. Silva Exel-Škerlak (*1906, 1987). In 1931 she graduated from the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana and got a job as a deputy at a grammar school. However, because of her leftist ideas she was arrested. In 1941 she graduated and next year was awarded her Ph. D. at the Faculty of Law. At the same time, she was employed by the Social and Economic Institute in Ljubljana and worked in the editorial board of»tehnika in gospodarstvo«. During the war she participated in the National Liberation War and was arrested in After the liberation she was Director of the Statistical Office of the People s Republic of Slovenia until 1948, when she was appointed Vice-President of the Planning Commission of the People s Republic of Slovenia. Later on she worked in some republican institutions and as a professor at the Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo and Ljubljana, teaching internal trade policy. Sources: Biografija.

14 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF STATISTICS IN THE EARLY PERIOD Understanding of fundamental principles of statistics in the early period after the Second World War can be seen from the report on activities of the Statistical Office of Slovenia between the liberation and October The mentioned report points out and gives explanations for three fundamental principles that statistics must take into account at its work: Unity of theory and practice. Statistics as a practice and science grew from the needs of the society and must serve the society. Every statistical material is dead unless we can derive from it the fundamental guidelines of development. A theory is correct only as long as it derives from real and constantly changing life and as long as it is being constantly checked in real life. Co-operation of all bodies of the statistical service. All bodies carrying out the statistical service must work in strict concordance, according to the same principles and on the basis of the same forms and questions, because it is only possible to sum and compare data of the same kind. Democracy of statistical character. In a people s state, statistics must not be a lie and is not a means of exploiting people. Benefits of the people collecting data must be the same as of the people providing them.

15 DETERMINING THE TASKS OF THE STATISTICAL SERVICE The same report from 1945 mentions tasks that have to be carried out by the statistical service. This is how the report summed up the most important tasks of the statistical service: Co-ordination of statistical work. Co-ordination means that the Statistical Office must take care that no data collection in the republic is carried out on two or more tracks and that it has to prevent this from happening. Whenever ministries, district, county or local committees needed data, they were collecting the data for themselves. This led to total anarchy as regards data collection in Slovenia. The same censuses were conducted several times, which presented great loss of time, money and energy. Training of statistical experts. Slovenia had no statistical tradition or properly trained statisticians, so something had to be done immediately to organise statistical training. Education of the general public. Statistical data must be presented in an understandable way to the widest possible circle of users and they have to be taught to think in numbers. Mr. Boris Debevec, Director of the Statistical Office of Slovenia in Mr. Boris Debevec (*1911, 1951). After graduating from the college of education, in 1929 he entered the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, where he graduated with interruptions in 1946 from pedagogy, history of philosophy and psychology. Since 1930 he has been working as a teacher in various places in Slovenia. In June 1941 he was arrested by the Germans but he managed to escape. During the war he worked in the paper factory in Vevèe and taught in the industrial school. After the liberation in May 1945 he was for a few months Acting Director of the Statistical Office of Slovenia until he was transferred to Belgrade as Assistant Director of the National Statistical Office. In 1947 he was transferred back to Ljubljana, first as Assistant Director and from July 1948 on as Director of the Statistical Office of the People s Republic of Slovenia. At the beginning of 1951 he was arrested and accused of being a Russian agent. The accusation could never be proven. On 18 June 1951 he died in prison. Source: Arhiv Slovenije, os.

16 DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING Even back then, the Office wanted to be as independent service as possible. Of course, regulations valid in the federation had to be taken into account. Ms. Katja Vodopivec, Acting Director of the Statistical Office of Slovenia in Ms. Katja Vodopivec (*1917). After graduating from the Faculty of Law in 1941, in 1943 she was awarded her Ph. D. in criminal science by successfully defending her thesis on the statistical method in criminal etiology. She participated in the Liberation Front and was an activist until the end of WW II. After the war she worked in the department for statistics at the Ministry of Labour and at the Statistical Office between 1949 and First she was Assistant Director and after the departure of Mr. Debevec Acting Director. In 1953 she was studying in the United Kingdom in the field of social security analysis and statistics. In 1954 she was appointed first scientific collaborator of the Institute of Criminology at the Faculty of Law; between 1961 and 1972 she was Director of this Institute. From 1971 on she was employed by the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana as full professor for criminology and a long-time head of the chair for criminal law science. She was lecturing at many universities (Vienna, Graz, Zagreb). She is retired and lives in Ljubljana. Sources: Enciklopedija Slovenije. (2000). Zv. 14, str Bavcon, L. (1987).

At first by hand and gradually by machines. In 1948 the Office had one sorting machine, and two manual and two automatic hole punchers. These machines were very simple. They were sorting papers and counting forms: as many papers came out of the machine, this was the number of characters. In 1952 the IBM computer system was introduced, which included verifying machines and tabulation machines. The basis of statistical surveys was statistical forms and annual reports sent by authorised institutions. Full coverage was implemented whenever possible and special attention was focused on studying methods and ways of implementing censuses. Courses for interviewers were organised before each census. On such courses interviewers learned about the census methodology and guidelines. They did not have a program of statistical surveys. Surveys were carried out as necessary. They were studying foreign statistical literature, learning and in this way introducing new surveys. Every department organised surveys on its own, assisted by the Director of course. Expert contributions and papers were written by heads of departments, since they knew the problems and needs best. The first IBM computer, borrowed for the needs of processing the agriculture census.

17 FIRST POST-WORLD WAR II CENSUSES One of the principal statistical tasks after the Second World War was to find out the current situation in the society. This task was performed by censuses, the most important being censuses of territory, population, agriculture and housing. The first post-wwii census in the field of administrative and demography statistics was the census of places and settlements, since at that time the principal task was to establish the number of population and buildings on the territory of the (former) Drava banovina and the maritime province of Slovenia by settlements within local committees. However, because during the census the administrative breakdown was changed, the objective of the census was not entirely reached. The initial deficiencies led to the decision that data collected with the 1961 population census were used for the Register of Permanent Population this time for its restoration. The 1961 population census was additionally used to collect data on dwellings in larger cities. A year before that, a census of agriculture was conducted. The 1948 population census was more successful. With it basic data on the population by counties, settlements and hamlets were collected. The first population census carried out in accordance with UN recommendations was conducted in Ever since the Second World War statisticians were linking population censuses with registers. At the 1953 population census the form Registration for the Population Register was added. Data from this form served for setting up registers of permanent population on card files by municipalities, which should serve for other administrative purposes as well.

In all population censuses, the general public was informed via the media and by hanging posters at public places.

18 INTRODUCTION OF STATISTICAL SURVEYS In the first years after the Second World War the Statistical Office of Slovenia strived to provide basic statistical data on the situation and changes in various areas. It started to introduce annual and regular monthly services (today they are called statistical surveys) with which it would provide data for preparing monthly and annual reviews of the economic and social situation in Slovenia. Even though the Office did not have clear and planned contents of surveys or a defined periodicity of data collection, the number of statistical surveys was increasing from year to year. We shall only mention the most important surveys by individual fields. In the field of population statistics, a survey on natural changes of population was introduced. In the field of industrial activity, a temporary census of industry was conducted. It covered all industrial and other enterprises that were in normal operation and had at least 5 persons in paid employment. All power plants with over 10 kw of power were also surveyed. A special census of construction enterprises was conducted and a regular monthly survey on industry was introduced on consumption and production of raw material and fuels. In the field of agriculture, a regular monthly agricultural information service was introduced. Production of agricultural output, and the size and structure of forests were estimated. A census of cooperatives and land was conducted. A survey on livestock slaughter was introduced. The price service at the Statistical Office was calculating monthly cost of living indices on the basis of data on changes in standard and free sale prices. In the field of education, a census of elementary, secondary and vocational schools was conducted. A census of insurance institutions and insurance funds was conducted as well as a census of restructuring of credit institutions operating before and during the occupation on the territory of Slovenia.

19 PUBLISHING ACTIVITIES Statistical publishing has always followed the development of the statistical activity and the needs of informing the public and providing it with statistical data and information in a way that was enabled by the mechanographic technique in old times and the modern information technology today. At the beginning, the Office was providing the necessary data mostly of confidential nature to government bodies and only short information was published for the general public. Publications were issued occasionally and were adjusted to the needs for basic statistical data of that time. Because of the need for open and public information, after 1951 the statistical publishing activity developed rapidly. Numerous serial publications began to be published. Nowadays, they are still being published, although under different titles (e.g. Monthly Statistical Review, Some Important Data on the Republic of Slovenia, Methodological Material, Results of Surveys, Statistical Yearbook, etc.). In 1955 the Federal Institute for Statistics issues principles for publishing official statistical data and editing statistical publications. It assumed control over data publishing so that republican statistical offices had to show the draft of each publication before it was published. In this way greater harmonisation (unity) and comparability of republican data was achieved. Anyhow, for Slovene statistical office, this meant abolition of the Statistical Yearbook because data were published in the Statistical Yearbook of Yugoslavia and lower quality of its publications. Commentaries and analyses were no longer allowed in official publications but only in unofficial ones. Therefore, in 1955 Slovene statistical office started publishing a magazine called Prikazi in študije (Reviews and Studies) with quality commentaries and analyses. In the 1960s a rule was adopted that the public must be informed about the results of all statistical surveys and that commentaries to data are obligatory in printed form. Publishing of statistical publications increased and the quality of published contributions improved. A revision of the publishing system was made; its result was improvement of serial publications in terms of contents. Business data and commentaries started to be published and a program of statistical publications was prepared. A collection of old publications. In the 1980s numerous monographic publications with results and analyses of individual or several statistical surveys were published. Sources: Mlinar, B. (ur.). (1974). Trideset let statistike v Sloveniji Ljubljana: Zavod SR Slovenije za statistiko. Bibliografija Zavoda SR Slovenije za statistiko od 1945 do (1990). V: Statisti~ni letopis Republike Slovenije Ljubljana: Zavod republike Slovenije za statistiko, letnik 29, poglavje 38.
20 Professional statistical conferences»statistical Days«started in 1987, accompanied by extensive proceedings volumes. After the independence, the Statistical Office devoted special attention to methodological modernisation of statistical surveys, to statistical terminology and to the use of international statistical standards (classifications and nomenclatures). The contents of its publications were adjusted to this objective. Most publications are now bilingual (Slovene-English) and thus available also to the international public; in this way methodologies and data in them are more widely applicable. The use of new technologies demanded a new way of publishing statistical data. In 2003 the Office modernised its web pages and thus enabled rapid access to statistical data and information to the users. All publications are now available also in electronic form. (www.stat.si/publikacije). In 1980 the Institute of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia for Statistics prepared a publication with 36 pages (2000 copies in Slovene, 10,000 copies in English for the UNESCO conference in Belgrade and 2000 copies each in French, Serbo-Croatian, Italian, Russian and Spanish). This ambitious project was financially supported by the Slovene Government (the Republican Committee for Information).

By Matthew Verrinder, Associated Press Writer
LODI, N.J. The dancers never stop at the Bada Bing, but they took an hour off at its real-world counterpart to watch the final episode of "The Sopranos."
Fans lined up three-deep at the bar of Satin Dolls, the Lodi strip club that doubled as the mob family's headquarters on the HBO series. As the series ended, fans had mixed reactions to the final scene of Tony and his family eating dinner at a cozy family restaurant.
"It was a big dud," said Joseph Manuella, 57, of Glen Rock, who was among about 200 fans watching the show at Satin Dolls.
"People were getting ready for the big bang, like maybe the whole family was going to get whacked in the restaurant. But it was like a fireworks show without the finale."
So ended the complex relationship between New Jersey and its most famous fictional family. Some viewers thrilled to mob hits up and down the Turnpike, while others objected to what they saw as knocks on Italian-Americans. The show highlighted the state's stark beauty and its dingiest corners.
Tom Devlin, who drove out from Pittsburgh just to watch the final episode at the club, thought the show -- especially the ending -- was great. He thinks there will be "at least a couple of movies coming out of that show. That's why they didn't kill him."
Most fans said they would truly miss the show, particularly residents of the blue-collar north Jersey that were home to most of its locations. They had closely followed Tony, Carmela, and the rest of the cast since the show debuted on Jan. 10, 1999.
Among them was Jane Souza, the manager of a Kearny restaurant a few steps down from the building that served as Satriale's Pork Store on the show.
"It was very exciting," Souza said. "A lot of people would come and watch. The only downside was that they took up all the parking, but they would always give plenty of notice. And the actors were very nice to talk to."
Souza proudly pointed to several framed pictures taken of her and cast members including James Gandolfini, Robert Iler, Drea de Matteo and Tony Sirico.
While few television shows have been as exhaustively analyzed and deconstructed, there is little disagreement on one point: For better or worse, "The Sopranos" imported its vision of modern-day New Jersey to the rest of the nation.
Well, a slice of New Jersey at least.
New York Giants offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie, who hails from Willingboro in the southern half of the state, considers himself a casual fan of the series but acknowledged he has tuned in to the rebroadcast of the shows during the week (the Giants are often otherwise occupied on Sundays, particularly during the fall).
"Strip clubs, malls -- it's definitely more a North Jersey thing," McKenzie said. "South Jersey is more rural."
Not everyone has been enthralled with the depiction of Italian-Americans as mobsters, a stereotype that has become a staple of popular culture.
"It seems as though bigotry is not OK, except when it comes to Italian-Americans," said Emanuele Alfano, head of Italian American One Voice, a coalition of Italian-American organizations. "They have shown us as the lowest of the low: Killers, drug addicts, wife-beaters. The women are always promiscuous, the young people are always stupid. People don't see it; as long as they're being entertained, they don't care."
