Twenty policemen at tiny train station in Menton this morning. Ever curious, I asked why such a heavy presence and got the answer I expected--The Italians cant control their borders. A few thousand sans papiers a week come through here on their way, they hope, to England. Then listen in on enraged rant against immigrants on station platform. Literally spitting with rage, old man rants against foreigners to a nodding couple. Train comes, and police walk aisle of car filled with sun-tanned tourists looking for people who were born tan. The crowd smells of tanning cream layered on sleep. The sea glitters in the distance on a beautiful sunny summer dat, which makes it much too easy to ignore the fact that Europes ancient demons are stirring again
