...member of the U.S. delegation to the Synod of Bishops in Rome this autumn, the Archbishop of Cincinnati earned a signal honor: he was the only bishop to be elected on the first ballot to the planning council for the next Synod. Last week Joseph L. Bernardin, who at 46 is one of the nation's youngest archbishops, received an even more important accolade.

Victoria Nankin is billed as "the Yé-Yé Widow." To show her grief, Bernardin has veiled her nude form with large black dots, achieved with lighting. All she does is remove a filmy gown, sit up, and hold her arms like a sphinx. But that is quite enough...
