...focus of attention had missed her nap; she ignored the distinguished company and gave vent to lusty cries until she was soothed by her mother and her new godparents, Michael Kennedy, 10, and Mary Kennedy, 9. With calm restored, Ethel Kennedy stood aside to watch New York Archbishop Terence Cooke christen one-month-old Rory Elizabeth Katherine Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's eleventh child. ∙∙∙ In June of 1770, midway on his first voyage around the globe, England's Captain James Cook was navigating the Endeavour along Australia's Great Barrier Reef when his ship suddenly...
...Archbishop Giovanni Benelli, deputy secretary of state, acts as an informal link between L'Osservatore and Pope Paul. Benelli meets twice a week with the current editor in chief, Raimondo Manzini, 67, to plan articles for the paper, and consults the Pope on major points of editorial policy.

The freed man is no ordinary convict: he is Kiril Lakota, a tough, Mindszenty-like Slavic archbishop. Lakota has been sprung because Russia and China stand ready to trigger an atomic holocaust. The premier, who just happens to be La-kota's former inquisitor, is desperately gambling that the prelate can somehow persuade the world that the Soviet Union wants peace...

The Secretary of State is the venerable Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, 83, and his chief assistant is the equally reactionary Archbishop Giovanni Benelli, 47. A brilliant administrator, Benelli is gradually emerging as one of the most important men in the Vatican-largely because he is considered the principal pipeline for information from...
