...April truce between Silverstein and the Port Authority resolves most of those turf issues. Silverstein gets to unload the Freedom Tower, widely seen as a white elephant and a money loser. Pataki can claim that construction is moving forward, in time for his expected presidential bid. Bloomberg, who has long pushed for adding residential space, will probably get that with Tower 5. There are yet some issues on the table, but the agreement was enough to clear the way for construction on the Freedom Tower to begin April...

But chainsaw-wielding Lordi insists it's not a Satanic group, offering a song called Devil Is a Loser as proof. Final odds: 25-1 Lithuania: LT United We Are the Winners.

This episode seems mostly to reflect wishful thinking by church progressives. "Let's not forget that Martini's camp was essentially the loser in last year's conclave," a Vatican official says. The conservatives won, and contraception does not seem to be high on Pope Benedict XVI's agenda. In late November, he listed several ways to combat the spread of HIV, including chastity, fidelity in marriage and antipoverty efforts. He did not mention condoms...
