Italy 3, West Germany 1. It was the single most significant soccer score in 44 years for the Italians, whose team had just won its first World Cup since 1938. But the victory was surely sweetest of all for the club's champion striker, Paolo Rossi, 25. He had returned to the sport just two months earlier, after a two-year suspension when he was implicated in a betting scandal. Scoring six goals, Rossi displayed an almost mystical artistry with foot and ball that belied earlier fears. "I'd been morally depressed for so long," he said...
...play commences with corpses of Lily (Jennifer Divine), Skinner (Roger Gould), and Michael (Paolo Carozza) being carried off the stage. The focus changes quickly. We are plunged into the tribunal hearings to determine the facts of the deaths. The inquiry lasts throughout the play, but the proceedings are punctuated by flashbacks and seemingly irrelevant commentary by unrelated characters such as an American sociologist, newspapermen, and visitors to a bar.

...Pope's crackdown began last year after Jesuit Superior General Pedro Arrupe, considered Catholicism's second most powerful leader, suffered a serious stroke. In October, John Paul cast aside Arrupe's choice of an interim leader and landed control to his personal delegate, Jesuit Father Paolo Dezza. Some 5,000 protest letters came to the order's headquarters from the 86 Jesuit regional units around the globe. A group of 18 West German Jesuits, including eminent Theologian Karl Rahner, complained sharply to the Pope that it was difficult to "recognize the hand of God in this...
