...looks too benign to be an inquisitor. But his Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the Roman Inquisition's latest incarnation, and as the Catholic Church's chief enforcer of dogma, the Cardinal stands in direct succession to the persecutors of Galileo and the compilers of the index of banned books. The weight of history is borne in the attention Ratzinger receives.

The payback on this year's IPOs has hovered around 30%, compared with 5.3% for the Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks. IPOs also give investors an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what might be the next Apple Computer or Microsoft. But for every Microsoft, there are five flops, like MathSoft. And that's what makes market watchers nervous...
