Chronically ill workers often need extra time to deal with their afflictions. And time constraints create the greatest tension between such workers and their employer. One of the fastest-growing ways to give people more autonomy in their schedules is by creating a "flexible workplace," according to Karol Rose of LifeCare.com a global provider of workplace-management services. A flexible workplace can range from a part-time arrangement (though this can have salary and benefit implications) to very specific accommodations agreed upon between the employer and an individual employee. Some employers favor what is known as flexplace, or working...
Before he was POPE JOHN PAUL II, it is well known that Karol Wojtyla wanted to be a playwright. It is less well known that he wanted to be Neil Simon. The Jeweller's Shop: A Meditation on the Sacrament of Matrimony, Passing on Occasion into a Drama, currently being performed in the crypt of a Paris church, shows the young playwright musing on the subject of marriage through the eyes of three couples and the proprietor of a wedding-band shop who just happens to be the human incarnation of God. As a playwright, Wojtyla makes a pretty good...
Pope Pius XII sat through the Holocaust in the Vatican, either turning a blind eye or quietly resisting - depending on whom you believe. But for Pope John Paul II, then Karol Wojtyla of Wadowice, Poland, the Holocaust was a lived experience, as he made clear during an emotional address at Israel's Yad Vashem memorial on Thursday.

...given Karol Wojtyla's job description and his trip's locus, little else about it is personal or simple. A billion Roman Catholics and innumerable other Christians will follow his every encounter in the footsteps of their Saviour. Many Jews will cautiously applaud what Aharon Lopez, Israel's ambassador to the Holy See, calls "with all due respect...the climax" of recent Catholic-Jewish amity. That's the upside. The downside? It will be a security nightmare and a diplomatic high-wire act. Says Israeli police official David Tsur: "It touches all the nerves we can think...
...first day of the new millennium ?- and you don?t hear John Paul, the first celebrity pope, splitting holy hairs about January 1, 2000, not technically being the millennium ?- is the kickoff of the Jubilee, a celebration that might have been just another musty Vatican ceremonial if Karol Wojtyla hadn?t come along. Under John Paul II, thanks to countless hours and countless lire, it?s more like a worldwide, millennium?s-end sales event. "He?s determined to make it a time for conversion, diocese by diocese," says Burke. "To him, it?s an incredible historical opportunity to spread...
