PHOENIX, Arizona--The large crimson-colored bloodstain is gone now, an uncomfortable memory from the past that most Arizonans would prefer to forget. It's been more than two years since investigative reporter Don Bolles was blown up in his white Datsun while trying to uncover the activities of organized crime in Arizona, and like the blood-stained pavement where he was killed, his memory has now begun to fade as well.

...Sacred College of Cardinals concludes the lengthiest conclave of this century by naming Rev. Peter J. Gomes, minister in Memorial Church, as the 265th pontiff. Gomes, the first black, non-Catholic Pope in recent memory, moves to demonstrate his fidelity to the developments in the Church in the past 105 years, and choose the name Leo Pius Benedict Pius Pius John Paul John Paul John Paul I, after his nine immediate predecessors...
