...landing, like everything else about the flight of Shuttle 51-D, was slightly behind schedule. Early-morning rains forced an extra-cautious NASA to send the Discovery on an additional orbit and delay its return by some 90 minutes. The touchdown was a bit rough: Discovery blew a tire as it rolled to a stop on the Kennedy Space Center's three-mile-long runway. Upon examination, the ship proved to have suffered more external damage than any previous shuttle--a dinner-plate-size hole near its wingtip and damage to 123 protective tiles.

Says Comunità di Sant'-Egidio's Riccardi: "The man chosen by the Cardinals can't be a Pope of the clash of civilizations." The most common posture in conclave will apparently be one of cautious outreach to what is, by origin, another Abrahamic faith.
