	Catholic World News : Italian Court Reopens Case against Vatican Radio
		Vatican Radio announced that the broadcast agency "takes note of the court's decision," and is waiting to read the court's full decision before taking further action.
		The case against Vatican Radio-- which carried heavy political overtones because it was introduced during an election campaign-- involved the level of electro-magnetic transmissions from a broadcast facility in Santa Maria in Galeria, a suburb of Rome.
		Vatican Radio had originally selected that location for its broadcast facility because it was unpopulated; urban sprawl in the intervening years has brought housing developments to the area, and some residents complained that the broadcast might have adverse effects on their health.

	DC NEWS FROM ROME FOR MARCH 30 (mar30nr1.htm)
		VATICAN CITY, MAR. 29, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The Italian government has implicitly acknowledged as unscientific a report that blamed electromagnetic waves from Vatican Radio's transmission antennas for health problems in a nearby neighborhood.
		In fact, the document acknowledges that the "analysis of mortality for the period 1987-95 has not reflected an excess of cases of mortality due to tumors." In other words, the information for the 2-kilometer radius of Vatican Radio's antenna is exactly the same as the average for Rome.
		Once the data is backed up scientifically, the government and the Vatican plan to adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the health of the area's residents, most of whom built their houses long after the antennas were installed.
