In 1960 one fourth of the world's population was of European ancestry.
By 2000 the figure was one-sixth. By 2050 it will be one tenth. People of European background are an endangered species. Of the twenty nations with the lowest birth rates in the world, eighteen are in Europe. And as Europe is dying, the Third World adds a hundred million people every fifteen months. Italy gave us Rome, St. Peter's, Dante, and Michelangelo; but the birth rate in this most Catholic and romantic of nations, says New Republic's Greg Easterbrook, "means that Italywill be a theme park in a few generations."
