...York Review of Books and elsewhere. 'Garrity, who lives in ritzy suburban Wellesley; Mayor White, who sends his kids out to the private academies; the editors of The Globe, most of whom skipped town as quick as we would if we had the money.' No doubt they also take note that even Coles, their interpreter, if not spokesman, likes his safe, bucolic home in Concord to go home...

In a poignant note in French, handwritten in Rome two weeks before the Lille Mass, the Pontiff addressed the erring bishop as "our venerated brother," urged him to reconsider "the insupportable irregularity of your present position" and "break the illogical bonds which make you alien and hostile to the church."
