Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:26:24 GMT

An explosive and unsubstantiated allegation that Paris gave the order to shoot down an Italian passenger jet in a bid to kill Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 1980 risks sparking a diplomatic row between Italy and France.In an interview with Rome daily Repubblica published on Saturday, former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato claimed that the French air force inadvertently fired a missile that downed Itavia Flight 870 en route from Bologna to Palermo. The crash over the Mediterranean killed all 81 people on board and led to rampant speculation in Italy about the cause.“A plan had been launched to hit the plane on which Gaddafi was flying,” Amato claimed in the interview, suggesting the strongman ruler was tipped off by Amato’s own former rival, ex-Prime Minister Bettino Craxi. Amato called on French President Emmanuel Macron to respond to the claim, saying “it would be an opportunity for the Élysée to wash away the shame that weighs on Paris.”Ital...

Ask Amy: The problem with the wedding photos is that the bride is in them

Dear Amy: I have many wedding pictures from my son’s first marriage. I am trying to organize all of these pictures so that I can give them to my grandchildren after my (hopefully distant) demise.My problem is that a lot of these pictures contain images of his ex-wife.I’m pretty sure I should replace the framed portraits around the house with the pictures of him with his new spouse. But what about all the other pictures?I don’t want to get rid of any of them; after all, she is the mother of my grandchildren. (We have a somewhat distant but cordial relationship.)I want to be fair to her, and I want to be respectful of the feelings and role of his current wife. I also want to be considerate of the feelings of my son and the grandchildren.So how should I handle the pictures?Should I check with my son first and see what he wants me to do? I’m wondering if he would like me to just “kick the can” down a generation or two and give everyone all the copies and let them decide for themse...
