Sports columnist Dan Wetzel, who also admires Hancock personally and is the most vocal...
...never shown an ounce of contrition. But Vittorio Zincone, who writes on politics and culture for the weekly magazine of the Milan daily Corriere della Sera, says there is an unconscious effect on the body politic. "The Marrazzo affair solidifies for many Berlusconi's reputation as the real ladies man," says Zincone.
