David M Friedman charts the transformation of man's best friend from supernatural phenomenon to leisure accessory in his cultural history of the penis, A Mind of Its Own. A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis by David M Friedman 368pp, Robert Hale, £20 In his discussion of ideas of manhood in ancient Rome, David M Friedman tells us that a Roman boy was often given a bulla, "a locket containing a replica of an erect penis", to wear around his neck. "Known as a fascinum, this penis replica signified the boy's status and power... Today, 1,500 years after the fall of imperial Rome, anything as powerful or intriguing as an erection is said to be 'fascinating'."

JAPANS Toilet Day
brings loos out of the closet
One of the fledgling association's first moves was to have Nov. 10 declared Japan's semiofficial "Toilet Day." Why Nov. 10? Because in Japanese, the numbers 11 and 10 can be read as ii toire, meaning "nice toilet."

Der gescheiterte Schriftsteller
Rudolf Augstein
VON MARCEL REICH-RANICKI Im Januar 1947 erschien die erste Nummer des von Rudolf Augstein herausgegebenen und redigierten SPIEGEL. Im November 1947 konnte man in diesem SPIEGEL eine Theaterkritik lesen, der ich historische, der ich höchste Bedeutung beimesse. Es ging um die Uraufführung des Dramas "Die Zeit ist nahe ..." in Hannover. Das offenbar in der Renaissance spielende "szenische Gleichnis" sei, schreibt der Rezensent, missraten. Er verspottet es - nicht ohne Witz und Humor, und er teilt den Lesern am Ende entsetzt mit, der Autor drohe "kühnerweise" mit einem neuen Stück.

Half-A-Million March in Anti-War Rally in Italy
More than half a million anti-war protesters from across Europe marched through this Italian Renaissance city on Saturday in a loud and colorful demonstration denouncing any possible U.S. attack on Iraq. Brimming with anti-American feelings and riled by a tough new U.N. resolution to disarm Iraq, young and old activists from as far afield as Russia and Portugal joined forces for the carnival-like rally, singing Communist anthems and 1970s peace songs.
