Media within hair's breadth of solving Berlusconi riddle

Did he or didn’t he? In a twist on a famous commercial of decades back which proclaimed a woman’s hair secrets were in the hands of her hairdresser, Italian political reporters are trying to get the scoop on Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s new look.
