...station is definitely not pro-Berlusconi. Berlusconi is a doer. His actions in Naples, which was cleaned up in a month; his rapid building program in Abruzzo following the earthquake; his measures that pulled Italy out of recession, all of these are proof of his ability. No wonder opinion polls give him close to 70% approval rating. Joe M. Zahra, BIRZEBBUGA, MALTA...

It lost plenty more in the first half of this year too. The airline's $6 billion pension deficit, meanwhile, is among the biggest...
...argue with my choice. I welcome that discussion as long as I don't have to listen to it. I will be busy doing famous-historian stuff, like droning on to Ken Burns, blurbing books I haven't read and sleeping with grad students. Though deep down, I wonder if we should have just done a Bravo show about the real columnists of TIME magazine instead. I know how this decade really worked...
