...people on the streets of Vatican City was a major challenge. Watching on TV, you will have seen the hundreds of thousands jamming onto the Via Della Conciliazione, the wide boulevard leading up to St. Peter's Basilica. But what you don't see on TV is that the parallel side streets are also packed, wall to wall. The crowd here is of a scale unlike anything I've ever seen. Rubbing shoulders with the tens of thousands of the faithful are cardinals, bishops and their staff - I ran into Cardinal Mahoney of Los Angeles en route to the press...

Watching the temperature mount in the Potomac Valley, one can see an instructive parallel from more than a century ago, when the South's General Robert E. Lee turned his forces east toward Gettysburg. In his great string of victories, Lee had almost always chosen the ground and the time of battle.

...Muslims behind veils, and Americans in trim safari gear. Thousands of women from some 130 countries poured into Kenya's capital city last week for two conferences to mark the end of the United Nations Decade for Women, one sponsored by the U.N., the other, called Forum '85, a parallel meeting of non-governmental organizations. Many had high hopes that the gatherings would provide a sisterly exchange of ideas and strategies. "You will see something that is not a conference but an encounter, a happening . . . a meeting of the minds of women," predicted Barbadian Dame Nita Barrow, convener of Forum...

...Bearing oscillates between narrating her own experience with intellectual detachment and living it with graphic, emotional loss of control; in one scene she may lecture on hospital procedure and in another sob hysterically while vomiting into a plastic basin. Edson has her heroine’s experiences parallel Donne’s, making for a play that, like his poems, is both intellectually complex and emotionally wrenching...
