to a deliberate effort by promoters of
automobiles, such as local auto clubs and

(muge), or that N were adapted from a
wooden clapper called hyoshiki carried by
the village night watch to make noise and
alert people. Id N.

Post World War II Italy, in light of its agreement to
cessation of war activities with the Allies, had its aircraft
industry severely restricted in both capability and
capacity.
Piaggio emerged from the conflict with its Pontedera
fighter plane plant demolished by bombing. Italy's
crippled economy and the disastrous state of the roads
did not assist in the re-development of the automobile
markets. Enrico Piaggio, the son of Piaggio's founder
Rinaldo Piaggio, decided to leave the aeronautical field
in order to address Italy's urgent need for a modern and
affordable mode of transportation for the masses. V
resulted.
46. W
• W is generally sold either as a
root which is very finely grated
before use, as dried powder in
large quantities, or as a ready-to-
use paste in tubes similar to
travel toothpaste tubes. In some
restaurants, the paste is
prepared when the customer
orders, and is made using a
grater to grate the root; once the
paste is prepared, it loses flavour
in 15 minutes if left
uncovered. In sushi preparation,
sushi chefs usually put the W
between the fish and the rice
because covering W until served
preserves its flavor.
50. Y
• The name Y means 'Jew' in Hebrew. In
an interview republished in October
2004, he recounted to New
Internationalist magazine the story of his
name:
– Obliged to find an apartment of their own,
my parents searched the neighbourhood
and chose one within walking distance of
the park. Showing them out after they
had viewed it, the landlady said: "And
you'll be glad to know I don't take Jews."
Her mistake made clear to her, the anti-
Semitic landlady was renounced, and
another apartment found. But her blunder
left its mark. Back on the street my
mother made a vow. Her unborn baby
would have a label proclaiming his race
to the world. He would be called "The
Jew."
