...girls in schools, some 2 million today compared to zero in 2001, as proof of success. But those schools are meaningless if there are no good teachers.

Sitrick also believes the former Senator needs to recruit the missus, Elizabeth Edwards. "If she said, 'He breached the most important thing we had, which is trust, and I'm hurt beyond words, but I believe in him,' she'd get Mother Teresa status and it would help him with his biggest problem, which is the credibility,'' says Sitrick.

Indeed, critics say that Mediaset has relied on favorable legislation in its recent efforts to undercut the Sky Italia satellite TV network set up by Berlusconi's rival, Rupert Murdoch.

...potential homes, they're still renting. In the heated market, sellers kept raising the price thousands of dollars just as Chen and his wife were on the verge of closing a deal, he says. Or worse, apartments listed at affordable prices were often sold within minutes at sums beyond Chen's comprehension. "In the end, we had no choice but to give up," he says. "Eventually we will still need a home that belongs to us, especially if we have a child. I just hope the government will do something to bring down the prices this year...
