...Suarez legend continues to grow in Bolivia, even if many of the stories told about him are probably wildly exaggerated. He has been seen carrying a gold-plated handgun and keeps a pet leopard, said to wear a gold collar studded with diamonds, near his side at his ranch in the Beni. In interviews with journalists, Suarez has boasted that he has hired Libyan "experts" to train his security force and that his ranchland retreats are defended by missile-carrying aircraft. He also likes to buy newspaper space to lecture his countrymen on the corruption in their government...

Marius's More is a darker, complex man than that of pope in legend, a man haunted, filled with rage and not "altogether admirable." This new More is an actor, writing his lines as he goes along. Arrogant in public, he's a victim of debilitating doubt in private. This More is a workahotled. A failed monk, he chooses marriages and a secular career in London. He is a merciless scourge of heretics and, at the same time, is preoccupied with death and tears for his own soul...
