From the Paper:

"As I went through the New York Times for April 2, 1982, I came across some very interesting stories. One that caught my attention was entitled, Italy s President Tours City. It was ironic that the day I was born, the President of Italy came to the United States. I thought maybe it was foreshadowing my future. At first, I was going to write about Sandro Pertini, the Italian president at the time of my birth; but, as I read on, I realized he came to New York City to visit the museum for Giuseppe Garibaldi. April 2, 1982 was the 100 year anniversary of his death, which is celebrated with much enthusiasm in Italy."
