...CLAUDIO HUMMES, 70, Archbishop of Sao Paolo. Appealing alternative for moderates. Seemed to lose momentum over the past two weeks, though reportedly spoke passionately about missionary work in the Cardinals? last official pre-conclave meeting...
...splendor and sorrow of the week, there was a final bequest spreading through the square as the service came to a close and the crowd, reluctant to leave, chanted one last time, "Giovanni Paolo! Giovanni Paolo!" Five staccato syllables and rhythmic claps, a football cheer for God's great athlete. And then it was over, and people mingled and smiled, and by late afternoon the young pilgrims had turned the Via della Conciliazione that leads away from St. Peter's into a lively promenade.

...size of the shipment and the price at which the firm planned to sell the bras: 10 million of them, wholesaling for just 50 cents a dozen.

Ratzinger has recently re-emerged as the top papal candidate from within the Vatican hierarchy, joining other front runners such as Dionigi Tettamanzi of Milan and Claudio Hummes of Sao Paolo. Vatican sources have told TIME that the length of the current papacy - now more than 26 years - may prompt the Cardinals to seek a shorter-term "transitional" figure. Ratzinger, 77, may fill that bill. His reputation as a hardline doctrinaire has given way to a sense that he knows how to balance...
