...position, was not covered live as is usually the case for rallies of such importance. The decision again spotlit RAI 's troubled board, whose seats are traditionally divvied up among majority and opposition Members of Parliament. Only board president Antonio Baldassarre and another center-right loyalist remain. Three others quit in November to protest Baldassarre's leadership and alleged partisanship. Sandro Bondi, spokesman for Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, said RAI's leadership is more independent than ever, though he conceded that "politics continues to influence the world of television."

...Loyalist Nobody successfully serves as many masters as Cheney has without a disciplined code of loyalty. With his conservative instincts, he was an unnatural fit in the relatively moderate fOrd Administration. He was suspicious of Kissingerian detente, for example, preferring Reagan's muscular anticommunism, but he buried his own politics in service to the President.

...buildings and farmland as global warming took hold, with the London region particularly at risk. IVORY COAST Moral: Don't Leave Home An attempted coup d'état convulsed one of sub-Saharan Africa's richest but most politically fragile countries while President Laurent Gbagbo was in Italy. Loyalist soldiers killed the man accused of leading the uprising, General Robert Guei, the former military ruler who was himself ousted in a 1999 coup.
