The U.S. appointments to a degree reflect the spectrum of the Pope's selections: three moderate conservatives, one progressive liberal; two of them were chosen primarily because they head sees traditionally ruled by cardinals, two others presumably because of personal accomplishment...
...catch on as a singer as well as a song-smith. Joni was the unquestioned hit of last January's Miami Pop Festival, and last weekend she started a concert tour that will take her to Boston, New York, Chicago, Ottawa and Montreal. At the end of April, she tapes a television show in Nashville with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Her latest album has an advance sale of 100,000 copies, a month before its release.
