...viability for at least eight months, but there is a good chance that it will last indefinitely. Then a famous bull could become immortal in a sense: he could keep on fathering calves-as many as 100,000 of them-long after his body had been made into bologna and bone meal...
Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro, 61, archbishop of Bologna. A jovial and unpretentious man who six years ago was still a parish priest, Lercaro is now the most popular bishop in Italy.

Big, smiling Comrade Dozza, 53, decided to stage a children's party of his own-a masked ball in the city's stateliest chamber, the frescoed Sala Farnese, in what had once been a palace, and was now the city hall. Blandly assuring newsmen that there was no connection, he scheduled his ball for the same day as the cardinal's carnival...
