Concern about age may dim entirely the already faint prospects of England's eloquently spiritual George Basil Hume, 55, although Hume's palpable star quality-his strong point-could prove more important than either age or health. Said the African Curialist, Bernardin Gantin, "All the Cardinals have seen and lived the charisma of John Paul. Those great crowds of people will be present at this conclave." Remarked a leading Italian Jesuit: "Better than a medical test, they should give each papabile [candidate] a TV test...
...Americans represented large multinationals, such as Teledyne and General Motors, as well as small firms like RH Packaging of Clearwater, Fla.

...Derry siege, and Irish Republican Army guerrilla activity continues sporadically. But Derry residents are proud of their progress and believe it relevant?to some degree, at least?to the rest of the troubled province, "Derry is a microcosm; Derry is what the whole thing is about," says John Hume, 41, a founding member of the Catholic majority party. "What we want to show is that the boot is not on the other foot?that whatever power you've got should never be used against a minority...
