Once Mafatlal identified Valentino as her quarry, she had some persuading to do. "I didn't know him. Then, early in 2004, I was having lunch at the jet-set London restaurant San Lorenzo, and Mr. Valentino and his entourage walked in. So I sent over a note, and Carlos [Souza, the company's indefatigable majordomo] came over, and we talked...
...Pope Benedict XVI spoke with reporters on his Alitalia jet just before take-off for his current trip to Germany, an imposing - and familiar - figure in black and red appeared just over the smaller shoulders of the German pontiff. He is Cardinal Angelo Sodano, and for the past 15 years, the husky Italian has served as Secretary of State, effectively the No. 2 post in the Vatican hierarchy.

Images of the crash site show hardly any of the wreckage you would expect from a building that's been rammed by a commercial jet. The lawn, where the plane supposedly dragged a wing on approach, is practically pristine. The plane supposedly clipped five lampposts on its way in, but the lampposts in question show surprisingly little damage. And could Hani Hanjour, the man supposedly at the controls, have executed the maneuvers that the plane performed...
