Last Friday another bomb exploded, this one in the dining room of the security branch of the federal police. At least 18 people were killed and many more were reported missing in the rubble; 66 were wounded, eleven of them critically.

The occasional quick temper of the master of the group, Roger Morigi, 68, is immortalized in a carving by a colleague: a Morigi-like head has an atomic bomb cloud forming over it. The stone carvers work under the alert eye of John Fanfani, 52, who is the son and nephew of two carvers who came from Italy in the 1920s to devote their careers to the cathedral. According to a legend, a passer-by once asked...
