	First Minister of Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The First Minister of Wales is the leader of the Welsh Assembly Government, Wales's devolved administration.
		When initially set up under the Government of Wales Act 1998, the title was known as First Secretary (in Welsh Prif Ysgrifennig), as Wales was given a less powerful assembly and executive than Northern Ireland and Scotland.
		This was also attributed to the fact that the Welsh term for First Minister Prif Weinidog, also translates as Prime Minister, and when told this, Prime Minister Tony Blair objected to its use.

	Italy's Foreign Minister Is First Euro Victim
		First, Ruggiero's longtime mentor, FIAT magnate Gianni Agnelli, pushed his candidacy, while government coalition partners were negotiating the composition of the Cabinet, threatening Berlusconi that if he did not accept him, they would topple him as they did in 1994.
		One of Ruggiero's first acts was to promote the "set-up" that took place at the Group of Eight (G-8) meeting in Genoa last June, through his insane decision to open a dialogue with the Genoa Social Forum, the organizers of the anti-G-8 riots.
		Economic Minister Tremonti, said to be the strongman in the government after Berlusconi, has emphasized in the past that ENI, already partially privatized, is an instrument of Italian foreign policy, and therefore one should be cautious with further privatizations.

		When I did arrive to work for Henry McLeish, as the First Minister’s press secretary, I had heard a lot about Alexander’s style as a minister, but dismissed it as gossip from rivals jealous of her ability and her rapid rise to the Scottish cabinet.
		My first experience of being "Wendied", as it had become known at the executive, came during the crisis over long-term care for the elderly, when the First Minister, at a press conference in early 2001, came as close as he had come to promising to implement the Sutherland report.
		Faced with this barrage, the First Minister came to the conclusion that he had to give in to the wishes of his minister, something I do not think he should have done.

	"Prime Minister Barak's First Year: Diplomacy and Politics" by Zalman Shoval
		European governments reached a consensus for the first time to agree to limited admittance of Israel to the Western European and Others Group (WEOG) at the United Nations, which will eventually permit Israel to be nominated to the UN Security Council and other key UN bodies.
		The direct election of the prime minister weakened the major parties (since voters could split their ticket), thereby requiring that a prime minister have keen political skills in coalition management.
		Barak was the first Labor prime minister who had to start his coalition formation with a Labor bloc of only 26 seats (only 23 of which were Labor party members).
