...Popemobile circled St. Peter's Square through a narrow lane formed by low wooden barricades. The crowd cheered and waved white-and-gold papal flags. In the speech that was to conclude the audience, the Pope intended to revert...

...laurels on 37 of 39 trips to the post, earned $2 million and became the sixth horse to win pacing's Triple Crown. Now that Niatross has hung up his harness for a life on the stud circuit, his sisters, Ellatross and Rosarium, have moved into the fast lane. Berger, who occasionally brandishes a stogie at the race track for Runyonesque effect, turns matronly when talking about the two: she calls them her "girls...
