...mere six hours after closing the bar, Batali could be found swimming in the Peninsula's rooftop pool. After he swam, Batali put away crab cake Benedict while constantly checking his Treo for messages and simultaneously answering my questions. Then he was off for two hours of negotiations with retailers to persuade them to place orders for his cookware. Next he did the demo, and afterward he signed autographs for about 250 fans.

Benedict's first consistory is also notable for its dimensions, with far fewer Cardinals than was John Paul's custom. Some believe Pope Ratzinger may choose smaller, more regular (perhaps annual) consistories to keep the College of Cardinals consistently close to the 120 limit. It also would be a chance for regular encounters with all his men in red hats. Benedict may be a Pope not only eager to choose Cardinals, but work with them as well...
