...kidnaping and murder last spring of former Christian Democratic Premier Aldo Moro, 61. Among the pieces of evidence: four unpublished Polaroid snapshots of Moro while he was being held, tapes of Moro's interrogation by his captors, detailed minutes of a kangaroo court that decided his fate, complete lists (including prices) of all materials used in the kidnaping, written critiques of the abduction and other operations by the brigatisti, photostats of letters Moro wrote during his captivity, as well as other letters he wrote that were never sent.

John Paul's fate may change attitudes toward the ages of papabili as well. Hitherto there has been an age "window" for candidates, ranging from the early 60s to the mid-70s, mainly because Cardinals feared having a Pope in office for more than ten or 15 years. "Maybe one of the lessons...
