Whatever the scientists find, the people of Naples are not likely to have their faith shaken by bloodless unbelievers. They have been through it all before. In 1750 one iconoclast sought to discredit "Miracle" San with a Gennaro mixture by of gold, effecting mer the cury and sulphide of mercury. In 1890 an Italian professor got results from a concoction of chocolate, water, sugar, casein, milk serum and salt. Even the Vatican's doubts did not daunt the Neapolitans.

The great ones usually run with their feet close to the ground--Sayers, Jimmy Brown, Jimmy Taylor...
...first two phases, described in captured documents as terror in the countryside and attacks on militia outposts, began after the Tet holidays last February. Evidently, last week's offensive began Phase 3: an effort to pin down South Vietnamese forces where they are weakest, inflict casualties, and discredit Vietnamization. The final phases are at tacks on major cities (quite possible) and a general uprising leading to the fall of the Thieu regime (farfetched...
