...didn't he? According to Summersby's posthumous memoir, she and Ike stole a few kisses but struck out in two attempts at lovemaking. According to the general's heirs, Ike never dreamed of cheating on Mamie. Poor ABC does not know what to think. The mini-series Ike raises the question of its hero's infidelity at every turn, only to answer that question with a resounding "Maybe." Even Henry James might marvel at the network's scrupulous ambiguity...
...memorable escape route is the Coventry-Stratford-Cotswolds Loop, a drive of 200 to 300 miles that can take a leisurely three or four days, with scarcely a neon sign in sight. (A Leyland Mini rents for about $100 a week, unlimited mileage, and sips petrol as if it were rare brandy.) Coventry has risen nobly from the ashes of its 1940 bombing. Next to the surviving western spire of the late medieval cathedral stands the great modern cathedral with vertical thrusts of rose-colored stone and Graham Sutherland's striking altar tapestry...
...loop back to London, the Mini practically drives itself through the lush hills and yellow stone villages of the Cotswolds.

Along with the 8,000-word statement on the priesthood, two chapters of which were a virtual mini-encyclical on celibacy, John Paul issued a 1,600-word letter to the world's bishops, exhorting them to make certain that priests follow his teachings. Only the Vatican has the power to release a priest from his vows. During John Paul's half year as Pope, the Vatican has received more than...
...subscriptions and individual tickets are going quite quickly. However, if you'd like to experience some of the leaps and twists without making a dent in your wallet, check out the action at the Faneuil Hall marketplace, where three of the local groups will perform in a free, outdoor mini-series. This Sunday Danceworks will entertain the crowd at 4, 5, and 6 p.m.; Dancentral and Becky Arnold and Dancers will follow suit, respectively, on May 6 and May 20. It's a great way to experience a small, painless dose of local talent, and, who knows, you may just...
