...half before reaching Graceland, and all of them have a poignant meaning for the fans. They see the boarded-up men's shop on Beale Street where Elvis bought his first sequined suit. They see Nathan Novick's pawnshop, where he got his first guitar at the age of eleven. They stop at St. Joseph Hospital, where his mother worked as a nurse's aide, and the public housing apartment on Exchange Street where the family lived. When they stop at Humes High School, Diane says: "Can't you just imagine a 16-year-old Elvis...
...only talk that really counted last week, however, was proceeding among the Cardinals who will elect Roman Catholicism's 263rd Pope in hermetic secrecy during the conclave that begins this Friday evening. Paul stripped the right to vote from Cardinals age 80 and over, a ruling affecting 15 of the 129 red hats.

Significantly, since 1964, the number of males marrying women older than themselves has risen from 12% to 15%, and the trend is expected to continue. The crunch should come in the mid-1980s, when the men born at the tail end of Britain's postwar baby boom begin looking for brides in the smaller pool of women born during the 1960s.
