One daughter just got out of the Army after eight years of service, while...
...been two weeks since Silvio Berlusconi has shown his face in public, as he recovers from a brutal attack by a deranged man at a political rally in Milan. The prime minister says we won't see him again until Jan. 7. That would mark the longest period Berlusconi has kept himself out of the public eye since his winter hibernation six years ago, from which he emerged smiling tightly, as the first sitting world leader to ever admit to a facelift...
