...York has always been theatrically narcissistic-one of the qualities for which it has been loathed in other parts of the U.S. All over the city, people are wearing I LOVE NY T shirts (a red heart where love should be), in a sort of truculent self-consciousness, an enthusiasm that should not have to be announced. It is defensive municipal flag waving, the equivalent of the old LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT sticker. But a change both real and psychological has occurred...
...North side Reporter, a small suburban weekly, in 1973. With the help of a handful of regular advertisers and a skeleton staff, he has transformed it into the still small but unabashedly aggressive Capital Reporter (circ. 6,000). Politics is the paper's forte, and Minor's love.

No monument...
...learning, as he went, superb Spanish, Portuguese, English and half a dozen local dialects. The pastoral job Pope Paul found for him in 1969 would have discouraged a lesser man: the Archbishopric of Cagliari in Sardinia. Baggio gamely traveled the island in a simple black cassock, exhorting fraternal love in place of the endemic vendetta, cajoling landlords and industrialists to provide better 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...
