Government No. 32, which was headed by Christian Democrat Mariano Rumor, lasted a mere 100 days.

Nonetheless, White House insiders insist that there's a front runner, Harvard Law Student Edward Cox, 23, whom Tricia first met six years ago at a Chapin School dance in New York. In fact, these Washington touts are hinting that Tricia and her steady...
