John Paul has never stepped back from difficulties, and he looks forward to an arduous 1995 agenda. First up is a scheduled 10-day trip in January to Papua New Guinea, Australia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines, where the Archbishop of Manila is in open conflict with the country's Protestant President over population control. The Pope is also laying strategy for the 1995 U.N. World Conference on Women in Beijing, which figures to be a replay of Cairo. In June, he plans to meet with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church. John Paul...
...Carpathian foothills near Cracow. This splendid medieval and Renaissance city, with its ancient Jagiellonian University -- which Wojtyla attended -- was the center of his youthful universe.

Of all the 250 former future leaders, however, Richard Ravitch may have achieved the greatest ignominy. He appeared on the 1974 list on account of his work as president of his family...

Julia's career began with Shakespeare and included turns on Broadway (the 1982 musical "Nine") and 18 film roles. Among them: the suave Gomez in two "Addams Family" movies, and assassinated Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero...
Delegates at the United Nations Population Conference ended the confab by unanimously approving a 20-year plan to curb birth rates -- sort of. The lone dissenter, the Vatican's delegate, actually voted for the plan too, but Archbishop Renato Martino said he could not endorse parts of the plan that recognized "abortion as a dimension of population policy and primary health care." Says TIME Senior Writer Eugene Linden in Cairo: "Nobody here understands the Vatican's vote. There's no precedent for it." So why did the Holy See have a change of heart? "The anger and the ridicule among...
