All week bomb experts sifted through every nook and cranny of the places that Pope Paul would enter: the U.N. building, St. Patrick's Cathedral; Yankee Stadium, where he would celebrate a Mass of Peace; the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where he would meet with President Johnson; the Vatican Pavilion at the World's Fair.
