Italy's fascination with prime-time porn. Why televison there treats women like sex toys.

The many ways Canadians bring you the world.
An all-Canadian effort, starting with a Calgary reporter in search of fossil thieves thwarting Canadian scientists in the Gobi Desert.
Then, a Canadian back from working in Tajikistan, which he describes as the Sopranos run by Fred Flintstone but too important to ignore.
We have a Canadian documentary-maker who bought himself a little piece of heaven in Nicaragua and found himself in a world of land craziness.
And, a Syrian-Canadian who took in Ladies Hour at the ancient Bath of Roses in Damascus, where they still dip like the Romans did.
Finally, a CBC journalist recalls going for gold in the Defend-Canada-From-The-British-Media Olympics. No place for false starts.
