This provision would be an important weapon in Prodi s hands.

An innovation by current President Romano Prodi's Commission helped.

Yet Prodi continues to be a party less leader of too many parties.

As if this was not enough, Prodi will face another problem.

This may seem strange, given the antagonism between Romano Prodi and Silvio Berlusconi during the electoral campaign.

Romano Prodi s government must operate on a razor s edge in the Senate.

Angela Merkel in Germany and Romano Prodi in Italy are ruling with weak coalition governments.

Hence, Prodi will almost certainly be deprived of his best tool for imposing discipline on his unruly coalition.

A process was invented by city engineer John Alexander Brodie, whose inventive genius also had him inventing the football goal net.

Jean Brody tells that 40 years later, when her husband returned to Paris, he was very surprised to meet the same doorman who recognized him and said You were here when the war ended, didn't you? Fratoni was extremely warm towards the Brodys, who were deeply moved.

He served as the Prime Minister of Italy, from 17 May 1996 to 21 October 1998 and from 17 May 2006 to 8 May 2008.

The Brodie helmet, called Helmet, steel, Mark I helmet in Britain and the M1917 Helmet in the U.S., is a steel combat helmet designed and patented in 1915 by Englishman John Leopold Brodie.

Prodi s left wing l Unione coalition comprises a hodge podge of parties spread all over the political spectrum, ranging from staunch communists to former liberals (with communists stronger than in the previous election).

Meanwhile, Italy must decide whether it replaces Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who displayed no interest in reform and European affairs, with the cautious Romano Prodi, the former European Commission President.

(But, interestingly, the switch from Silvio Berlusconi to Romano Prodi in Italy is having a less dramatic effect on Italy s foreign policy because of the country s greater defense dependence on the US.)
