...that goes beyond all the apparent wheel-spinning. The company, no one doubts, must be sold. The 5,000-pound vulture in the room is named Air France-KLM, which sat out this past year's round of bidding. Alitalia's initial cuts (modest as they are) to both personnel and fleet, its search for some hanging-on cash, and above all its shifting its hub southward all make it a more attractive regional partner for Air France following its merger with Dutch carrier KLM.

One of the most damning criticisms of Giuliani, however, has been his record of flawed judgment on personnel. In 2004, Giuliani recommended that President George W. Bush nominate Bernard Kerik to run the Department of Homeland Security. Kerik was a police officer and Giuliani's driver before he was elevated to corrections commissioner and police chief.
