AEROPLANE TO AEROPLANO

                               The following is the translation from Italian of a chapter of Gabriele Adinolfi's book  Orchestra Rossa,  published by AVATAR editions. The subtitle of the book reads: "Massacres: the truth that may not be told." The massacres began with the ruthless bombing of a Milan branch of the Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura in 1969. That year marked the beginning of a bloody terrorist campaign in Italy.

                                Hollywood and the "stars" have established the bridgehead for the spreading of Buddhism in the Western world. We are referring to the actors, the singers, the soccer players or simply the “famous people,” that is, that large crowd that performs in the mediatic circus of cinematography, television, newspapers and magazines: beings who were kissed by luck and, therefore, rose to notoriety.
