...Ferrara, a Berlusconi confidant and editor of the conservative daily Il Foglio. "Berlusconi is an outsider, the Milanese businessman who became Prime Minister. That's it." Throughout his storybook life - singing for tips on a cruise ship in his teens, making his first million in real estate in his 30s, launching a media empire that helped push him into the Forbes Top 50, and now, at 66, the most loved and loathed leader since World War II - this son of a salaried bank manager has shown a knack for knowing what people want. At a private ceremony last year, Berlusconi...
...million budget. Second, because they're enjoyable to assemble. Says John Singleton, director of 2F2F: "Early in my career, I said I would never do a car-chase movie because I wanted to be taken seriously as a filmmaker. Now that I'm in my early 30s, I figured I've done that. I just wanted to have fun." Car movies also touch the infantile urge to go fast and break things.

If we fear breast cancer more than heart disease, perhaps it is because breast cancer is more likely to strike us in our 30s and 40s, when our careers are in full bloom and we may still have young children. Perhaps it is because breast cancer can be disfiguring, damaging our self-esteem and interfering with our most intimate relationships. Certainly, women are concerned about heart disease, but they can't be faulted for also...
...major competitor, Germany's Fairchild Dornier, filed for bankruptcy in April 2002. Embraer's usually brash CEO, Maurício Botelho, 59, last month observed in nervous executive speak, "The aerospace market right now is very sensitive to change." Investors agree. Embraer stock has fallen from the high $30s before the 9/11 attacks to about $15, despite a boost from the U.S. Airways deal. Shares in Bombardier are stuck around $3, down from about $18. The good news for Bombardier Inc. is that it has a respected new chief executive in Tellier, 63, who arrived in January. A roll...
