Performance Of The Week

    • SILVIO BERLUSCONI, the Italian Prime Minister and new president of the European Union, often puts his foot in his mouth. Last week he outdid himself. When a German minister questioned his fitness for the post, Berlusconi snapped, "I know there is a man in Italy producing a film on the Nazi concentration camps. I would like to suggest you for the role of leader." He says he's not apologizing.
