Berlusconi says he'll live to 120, won't quit

Published Updated

Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi is vowing not to quit, as long as he's needed. And he predicts he'll be around for a long time, saying he'll live to 120. The 74-year-old conservative leader at a political rally in Rome Saturday was having fun boasting about his staying power, just days after he told foreign correspondents that he has designated his justice minister as political heir.
Berlusconi had a pacemaker installed in 2006 after he collapsed during an appearance and has said he has beaten prostate cancer.
