On Berlusconi:
President Berlusconi is a busy man on many fronts, extremely active, omnipresent . . . Last Tuesday, at 9 am he started work at the Counsel of Ministers, at 10 am he made a presentation at the beginning of a convention as Foreign Minister, at 11 he spoke at the Chamber of Commerce as a businessman, at noon he participated at a Mediaset meeting on competition.
