1938, October 21 - Corriere della Sera
		A copy of a page from the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, dated Friday, October 21, 1938. First article: "A Speech by Kennedy." Here is a summary of the article: During a banquet organized by the British Navy League to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar, the United States Ambassador to London, Joseph Kennedy, delivered a speech focusing on the American merchant marine, Anglo-American relations, and international affairs. Kennedy argued that it is against the interests of both democracies and nations with totalitarian regimes to widen the chasm between them by poisoning relations with polemics over doctrinal and political differences. While acknowledging the existence of profound ideological divergences, the ambassador urged nations not to let these evolve into absolute antagonism. He called upon both democracies and totalitarian states to join forces to address common problems and restore good relations globally, emphasizing that, since they must "live together in the same world," the best course of action is to try to "get along as well as possible." Second article: "American Speculation Regarding Kennedy's Remarks." Here is a summary of the article: - U.S. newspapers attach great significance to the speech delivered in London by Ambassador Joseph Kennedy on the occasion of Trafalgar Day. The press notes that his words stand in clear contrast to previous statements made by President Roosevelt in Chicago and Kingston (Ontario), interpreting them as a potential and decisive shift in the direction of American foreign policy. - The New York Times runs a headline stating that "Kennedy Advocates Friendship with the Fascist Bloc," speculating that the ambassador could not have expressed such views without prior authorization from the government in Washington. -Other newspapers point out that America appears inclined to follow—in its dealings between democracies and totalitarian regimes—the same policy of appeasement championed by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Finally, reference is made to a key passage in Kennedy’s speech, in which he dismisses the notion that doctrinal differences must inevitably lead to perpetual antagonism as "nonsense."

1958, July 4 - Corriere della Sera
		Copy of an article from the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera, dated Friday, July 4, 1958. Article title: "The Ships Depart." Excerpt: "The vast majority of emigrants aspired to reach North America... Until recently, there were 13,000 family members of Italians who had already emigrated and wished to join them; since they could only benefit from 20% of the quota, the last among them would have been forced to wait 13 years. Fortunately, the 'Kennedy Act' intervened, resulting in the granting of as many as 30,000 visas." In 1957, the then-Senator John F. Kennedy initiated an intensive legislative effort to reform United States immigration policy, culminating in proposals that were formally articulated in his famous essay A Nation of Immigrants (1958). The cornerstone of this vision was family reunification, designed to overcome the discriminatory barriers of the national-origins quota system. That same year, the U.S. Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1957 (Public Law 85-316), a measure intended to amend the restrictive McCarran-Walter Act of 1952. This 1957 law introduced significant exceptions based on humanitarian grounds and family unity, facilitating, for instance, the immigration of adopted children and stepchildren of U.S. citizens. The principles championed by Kennedy in 1957 laid the groundwork for the historic reform of 1965 (the Immigration and Nationality Act). That law, passed after his death, definitively abolished national quotas and established family reunification as the central pillar of the U.S. immigration system.
