...Faith Liddell, 44, director, Festivals Edinburgh I'd start my day with a hearty Scottish breakfast in the brasserie of the Scotsman hotel, tel: (44-131) 556 5565. Then I'd walk down the Royal Mile and climb Arthur's Seat, a little bit of highland landscape right in the center of the city. Afterward, I'd head to the National Museum of Scotland, tel: (44-131) 225 7534, not forgetting the museum's Tower Restaurant, tel: (44-131) 225 3003, where both the food and the views are fabulous.

The son of a Catholic police officer who didn't like...
...whether he should have better and more courageously used his diplomatic channels and bully pulpit is not a question the current Pope is driven to answer. Benedict's decision to move Pius' cause for sainthood forward is a declaration that the wartime Pope was a Catholic in good faith, a victim of the historical events that did not afford him the means to stop the bloodshed around him. In a way, that is just like the future German Pope himself. (See Pope Pius XII's reputation amid World War II, from TIME's Archive...
