...visitors a year and delivers as many as eight speeches a day has matched Pius' rapid pace. Yet he also shares something of the modern world's aversion to certainty and pontification: the nuggets of assertion and advice in his own writings often seem like spiritual rafts bobbing half-hidden in a holy sea of howevers. Nonetheless, the Pauline manner is unmistakable by now. In style, it can be summed up as a search for balance and order?a goal that runs the risk of ambiguity, of settling for surface rather than substance. His program for the church is renewal...
...nondescript village on the shore of the Canadian mainland just across Lake Huron from Michigan, but when Chicago socialites speak of Desbarats they mean a wonderfully scenic eight-mile stretch along the nearby St. Joseph Channel that is strewn with small islands on which unpretentious and simple cottages are half-hidden by evergreens and maples. Moreover, they will tell you in Lake Forest that Desbarats is not just a place but a way of life?a life of complete simplicity, where everyone wears old clothes, sleeps in an iron bed, and uses bottled gas for lights and cooking. Desbarats makes...
Behind Kong Le loomed an elaborate, half-hidden U.S. operation designed to maintain the fiction of Laotian neutrality and keep both Kong Le and Premier Souvanna Phouma's government from falling completely to the Communists.

...case in point involved a longstanding, half-hidden dispute between Cuba's Communist old guard and Castro's newer crowd. It centered around Marcos Armando Rodriguez, who, although only 26, was a member of the old guard (he started early). At the beginning of Castro's revolution, Rodriguez had little to do with Fidel and was accused of informing against four of Fidel's allies. After living abroad for years, Rodriguez was virtually ordered back to Cuba by Castro's men, placed on trial on the old charges last month. But during the trial, damaging...
They surrounded the schoolbook warehouse. Dozens of them poured inside with shotguns and began a room-to-room search. And near the fifth-floor landing, half-hidden behind crates of textbooks, they found an Italian-made kind of 6.5-mm. rifle fitted with a fourpower telescopic sight. One flight above, near a sixth-floor window only 75 yds. from the point where Kennedy and Connally were shot, they discovered remnants of a chicken dinner in a bag, an empty pop bottle, and three spent cartridge cases. The assassin was gone...
