Frank Bruni writes that the Roman Colosseum is being spruced up. I can't believe they are bringing back the gladiators - which recalls that famous headline "Lions 7 - Christians 0". They are also scrubbing the Spanish Steps and cleaning up the Trevi Fountain - all thru donations from merchants as Bulgari and Fendi. All this for the tourists but the city is not collecting the trash. And you know the furor in Manhattan when Mayor Lindsay did not pick up the trash. That new Roman mayor could end up in the gladiator pit with a thumbs down verdict.
