...impossible in the context of events as presented in "A Pope on British Soil" [June 7]. Reunion can occur only when the Pope acknowledges he is equal to all of his brother bishops and cannot act against their wishes. The Pope does not have the universal right to rule. Christ alone is the head of the church. The Orthodox Church will accept no other answer...
...spoke, Galtieri gallantly held an umbrella over him, but the presence of the man who had ordered the invasion of the Falklands did not deter John Paul from hammering yet again at the message of peace and reconciliation he had carried throughout Britain. He prayed for "the peace of Christ upon all victims of both sides," asking his hearers to think "once again about the absurd and always unjust phenomenon of war, whose scenario of death and sorrow could be averted through the means of the negotiating table."

She scaled a 50-ft. wall in the original production of Jesus Christ Superstar, performed an acrobatic dance routine in Seesaw, and was sawed in half by The Magic Show's Doug Henning, then stuffed into a cage with a 200-lb. cougar. In the current Broadway hit Nine, Morris gives new meaning to the phrase physical-fitness buff. In one number, A Call from the Vatican, she does a feline, erotic exercise for which she is so barely dressed in such sheer black that...
