Former Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti reads his notes on a
political talk show in Rome October 30, 2003. Italy's supreme Court
acquitted Andreotti on charges that he ordered the 1979 murder of a
muck-raking journalist. The high court overturned a ruling by an
appeals court last November that had found the 84-years-old Andreotti
guilty and had sentenced him to 24 years in prison. REUTERS/Tony
