...enough credits to graduate. The unsuspecting undergraduate, or graduate, or whatever, was in Big Lake, Alaska at the time. He immediately wrote back, as did his mother, explaining that in fact, he was eligible for the great sheepskin.

...conditions for workers. As prefect of the Congregation for Bishops since 1973, he has screened episcopal candidates from all over the Western Hemisphere and Western Europe - a job that has brought the tough but approachable Cardinal many a loyal ally and at least a few enemies. In one angry letter, he excoriated the Philippine hierarchy and religious superiors for their denunciations of the Marcos regime. He would be acceptable to many conservatives and moderates...
