Heteroplasia. Gradually, the circumspect Vatican began to reveal the truth of the Pope's illness: he had "gastric heteroplasia"-a tumor, perhaps cancerous (although only surgery could tell), that caused hemorrhages and anemia. Unable to hold down food, the Pope was being fed intravenously. One of Italy's best anesthesiologists, Dr. Piero Mazzoni, moved into the Vatican on 24-hour watch to administer transfusions, coagulants and morphine injections-the only treatments, since surgeons had decided against an operation or radiation treatments...

("Many honest people voted Democratic, and they will be welcomed by us.") But when the party's ten founders applied for permission to dub their new grouping either the New Democratic Party or the Free Democratic Party, they were turned down flatly by the alarmed junta...
