Aiding the cause, MIT Visiting Scholar Carlo N. Ratti, who had been pursuing his own project to help in the tsunami relief effort, saw the results of the SIGUS competition and suggested to the GSD team that they “join forces...
...make more sense to declare an ensemble award (it's happened before) for supporting actresses: to the Broken Flowers brigade of Lange, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Tilda Swinton, Alexis Dziena, Chloe Sevigny and Pell James; or to the Sin City sorority that includes Jessica Alba, Carlo Gugino, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Jaime King.

Martini, a brilliant Jesuit scholar and inarguably holy figure, was once the great white-haired hope of the progressives for a successor to John Paul. Few believe he is still 'papabile'. When I caught up with him after the Pope's funeral, he smiled and shook my hand, but stayed mum. He has, however, been talking during the Cardinals' daily meetings, and Corriere reported today that he was listened to "intently...
