...Schuster, who lives in one of the state's most densely populated areas, she says she's not sure when life will return to normal. On Sunday, the traffic lights in her neighborhood were not working (she's seen several drivers fail to stop at intersections) and she had not been to work in a week (she was told by her clinic to remain at home, rather than risk the icy, treacherous drive into work). That's the same message that went out to Louisville's public school students; classes for the remainder of last week were called...
...those who run its day-to-day affairs (both in Rome and around the world). Indeed, Benedict made an end-run around the famously imposing Vatican bureaucracy, including the key offices of liturgy, doctrine and inter-faith relations that would have wanted to weigh in with their concerns under normal procedures.

In a perfect - or at least normal - world, the Illinois legislature would convene next Wednesday to ready a budget that is due two weeks later and set to work drafting bills to help the state. On the to-do list: battle the effects of a plummeting economy, bolster schools and the small-business sector, shore up agriculture and deal with a host of environmental issues, from clean coal to protecting Lake Michigan. "Nothing's getting done," says state representative Patricia Bellock, a Republican...
