...Boston church's shift--it opposed the bill a week earlier--came amid a messy sexual-abuse scandal. Bernard Cardinal Law recently admitted, as part of a civil lawsuit against the church by abuse victims, that after he was informed that John Geoghan, a priest, had allegedly molested seven boys, he transferred Geoghan to several other Boston parishes. Geoghan, who retired in 1993 and was defrocked five years later, is accused of molesting at least 70 children. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges...
...possible "for technical reasons." The real reason, however, was probably anger. The committee, formed in 1999, was officially charged with reviewing 11 volumes culled from the archives between 1965 and 1981. But last October its members requested full access to resolve a list of 47 lingering questions. Unfortunately, Bernard Suchecky, a Jewish member of the committee, leaked a copy of the questions to a French newspaper before they reached the Vatican. Church officials, already nervous that Pius was being tried in the press, were furious. Committee member Father Gerald Fogarty fears that access has been shut down until the next...
...International Herald Tribune. Such is the sound of the fashion flock paying homage to a once-great designer. But in Saint Laurent's case, there's even more reason to rave.

His remorse is baffling to Gucci Group executives who note that Saint Laurent did in fact sell his company...
...coating of chalky, swirling, "Don't touch it dear" pigeon guano. But London Lord Mayor Ken Livingstone has declared war on the square's infamous winged residents. Livingstone's plan is to starve them, and after months of legal wrangles and, ultimately, a lucrative settlement, the city evicted Bernard Rayner, Trafalgar's sole bird-feed vendor, from the square. Trafalgar's pigeons are so tame they would eat from children's hands?if children were clever enough to avoid the watchful patrolmen. One group has: the Pigeon Alliance. Week after week, a grandmotherly woman marches through the square with...
...ruby necklace (Vertigo), a glass of milk on a silver tray (Suspicion), a black lace bra (Psycho) - is placed on a square of red satin in a glass case along with a small black-and-white scrapbook-style photo of the object's film role. The room is dark, Bernard Herrmann's music for Vertigo and Psycho fill the space, and the observers are cast in the role of detectives examining evidence from the crime. It doesn't seem to matter that Mrs. Bates' wax head with human teeth and hair, in the Psycho room, is the only original item...
