...Pope can afford to forgive his would-be assassin., That is his right as an individual. His action is also a manifesto for his flock.

There are not many truly wealthy private clients left, and they instinctively flock to whatever guru has had his inspiration certified by the press and by a chic popular line. (Princess Caroline of Monaco may be the only young woman left who patronizes a couturier, Marc Bohan of Dior, the way her mother did.)
