Falun Gong practitioners once conducted their own meditation sessions to musical accompaniment in the factory yard. Then came the Beijing protest two years ago. Days later, managers drew up lists of practitioners. They fired those who attended any demonstrations, including three in a workshop run by a foreman surnamed Lai.

...personality-driven campaign. And it really revolved around not two personalities, but one - Berlusconi. And despite the left's attacks on his partnership with far-right parties and questions about a conflict of interest arising from the fact that the media magnate will now have control over the state-run networks against which his own holdings compete, Italian voters appear to have preferred Berlusconi...
