...Calvinistic Edinburgh the Pope also doused protesters with a shower of papal blessings. A band of young extremists who hurled eggs at the Popemobile (none hit their mark) were quickly hustled away by police.

...still screaming, playwrights are boycotting conferences, hysterical letters from theatre companies and orchestras take their place on editorial pages beside tireless letters of explanation from Sir Roy Shaw and equally polarized columns by arts critics and culture-watchers. But the London theatre has rarely been healtheir. This year's Edinburgh Festival--a staggering assortment of fringe theatre companies, musicians and artists--was, even at its most materially impoverished, an embarrassment of riches.
