...thing that seems to set me the farthest apart is that my culture and religion do not accept the American concept of dating. Any teenager living in America knows how big an emphasis is placed on having boyfriends or girlfriends, both in society and in the media. On television any show that's meant for a teenage audience covers the topic of dating nearly a hundred times. At school it's the only thing kids seem to talk about. Thus you can see how significant the fact that I don't date is in my life and how hard...
Huge as they are now, Springsteen's concerts remain full-throttle performances that depend on intensity, not special effects, to reach the back rows. Scramble up to the farthest seats, look down toward the field. Springsteen, on the bright, distant stage, looks as if he were singing in the engine room of the Close Encounters spaceship.

Yet even St. Paul, the archetypal evangelist, might have wondered at John Paul's 1989, a fairly typical year, featuring stops in Madagascar, Reunion, Zambia, Malawi, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, South Korea, Indonesia, East Timor and Mauritius. His visits, especially to the Third World's farthest outposts, projected a sense of a true church universal. The Pope would arrive at each destination and kiss the airport tarmac. With his square jaw, actor's timing and facility with languages, he established an electrical connection with hundreds of millions of people. "He transmits hope," explained Philadelphia Archbishop Justin Rigali...
