...member of the first group of Nieman Fellows at Harvard in 1938, Reporter Lahey used the year to round out his scant formal education and "cure the worst damn inferiority complex about college you ever saw."

Later Milan's Corriere della Sera, Italy's largest newspaper, reported that the Pope also had heard the "true and distinct" voice of Christ. Vatican officials denied press hints that 1) a miraculous cure of the Pope's stomach condition had followed the vision, 2) that a dossier of possible miraculous occurrences was being assembled with a view toward the Pope's eventual canonization. Nevertheless, when the Pope left his summer home at Castel Gandolfo to return to Rome, crowds cried: "Viva...
