...Taiwan Second Resource Recycling Cooperative, she is synonymous with big-time recycling in one of Asia's fastest-growing economies. Working with about 100 recycling companies belonging to her cooperative, she coordinates efforts to collect industrial and consumer trash, salvage everything, from paper and plastic to scrap steel, and mold the refuse into raw materials to feed Taiwan's factories.

"There are two lines of thinking in the Vatican right now about who it might be," says TIME Rome bureau chief Greg Burke. "One is that the mold has been forever broken, that the next pope could be from anywhere," he says. "The other is that it?s time to return to an Italian.
