...most of football season, Father James Baraniak wears his green vestment with gold lining when he performs Mass in Green Bay, Wis. And while it has nothing to do with the Packers' team colors - green is mandated by the Vatican - it is something of a holy coincidence, given the fact that he has been the Packers' chaplain for the past 13 years...
After the 7:30 a.m. Mass for the Packers on game day, Father Baraniak heads over to St. Norbert College, four miles from Lambeau, and officiates at Mass for the students. (Some of them, he admits, come to his service because they know he'll finish in time to get to the game.)

And she was in The Sandpiper. (Read a Q&A with...
...Devender Singh, 26, an unemployed drug addict whose father was killed before his eyes in 1984, says his brother was murdered in the colony a couple years ago and that it's likely he'll meet the same fate. "We're all thieves and addicts here," he says. "When you get no work, what else will you do?" The lawless attitude of the young people is an echo, residents say, of India's broken justice system. The young people saw no punishment for the crimes committed against their families, so they see no justice for the crimes they'll commit...
