...Vatican has long been aware of Pius' explosiveness as a candidate for canonization. As Kenneth Woodward reports in his book Making Saints, the first time Pius' cause was formally addressed, every firsthand witness criticized his papacy's conduct. His beatification was repeatedly postponed, most recently in the 1980s, when churchmen apparently deemed it not to be "opportune." That seems to have changed. It will be interesting to see whether the upcoming ceremony will end the debate or spark an even more thorough public airing of this larger-than-life Pope's remarkable career...
...STARR's successor had previously had a private lesson in just how polarizing the sex-and-cover-up probe remains 19 months after BILL CLINTON was acquitted of impeachment charges. Legal sources tell TIME that Ray had trouble finding 23 grand jurors who could objectively review evidence of criminal conduct by the President. African Americans, among Clinton's biggest fans, were most reluctant to serve on the Washington panel, said a lawyer outside Ray's office. As result, most of the jurors impaneled last month are white, a rarity in the predominantly black city...

...world doesn't get more here and now than a presidential campaign. So the next few months will go beyond merely testing how well Lieberman can conduct a full campaign when he can't ride in a car or talk on a telephone on the Jewish Sabbath, which runs from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. What will really be tested is what happens to Gore's campaign with the addition of a man like Lieberman, a Democrat who was happy to mention God more than a dozen times in the first minute of that Nashville rally. Gore really did gamble...
...home free. The loser will surely challenge the decision in court. Once members of one campaign get the money, though, it's pretty much theirs to spend as they see fit. While the FEC requires that the money be spent on campaign-related expenditures (and will conduct an audit after the election), the pols have a lot of latitude. "They're not going to try to cogitate for the campaign what is and isn't a legitimate expense," says Ken Gross, a Washington attorney who practices election...
