...Pontiff grew up in an atmosphere that demanded more practical diplomacy than most Popes have had to practice in embassies around the world: his father was a committed socialist, his mother, as he put it, "a strong and devout" Catholic. Luciani was born, on Oct. 17, 1912, into the working class. In his home town of Forno di Canale in the Dolomite Alps of northeastern Italy, says the parish priest, "the villagers have been forced to work abroad. [Luciani's] father went to Switzer land to make a living." Even tually, the elder Luciani was able to settle down...
With all the increases, French price rises this year will almost certainly return to double digits, up from 9% in 1977. But Barre, a devout believer in the free market in a country sadly short of such sentiment, is convinced that within a year or two his latest moves will reduce France's inflation to that of its more successful neighbors. He notes that countries without controls generally have more stable prices-for example, Germany with a rate of 2.7% and Switzerland with 1.7%. Austria, the Benelux countries and even Britain have also done better than France lately. Although...

Because of the hordes of sightseers and the press contingent perpetually encamped outside, Mrs. Moro, a devout Roman Catholic like her husband, has had to give up her practice of going to Mass every day. The four Moro children−Maria Fida, 32, a journalist; Anna, 29, a pediatrician; Agnese, 26, a university student and part-time employee of CISL, a labor union confederation; and Giovanni, 20, a law student at the University of Rome−have also kept a low profile...
According to the Book of Joshua, the Lord was pleased when the Israelites assembled at Shiloh, 25 miles north of Jerusalem in the brown-green Samarian hills, to erect a tabernacle in his honor. Today, eight devout Orthodox Jewish families, huddled in mobile homes near the archaeological ruins of biblical Shiloh (pronounced Shelow), are certain the Lord is pleased that his people have reestablished a settlement on the site. Almost no one else is. Shiloh is the newest of four illegal settlements in the West Bank created and populated by Gush Emunim (Group of the Faithful), a nationalistic religious group...
