Thursday night John Paul flew to Chicago, where a crowd of 1,000, shivering in upper-40s cold, chanted, "Long live the Pope," outside his bedroom window at 10 p.m. John Paul appeared on a second-floor balcony and wagged his finger playfully at the crowd like a father telling his children it was past their bedtime. At 5:30 a.m. he was awakened by chants of "We want the Pope." Though he appeared weary at times, most notably Thursday night, he drew strength from the crowds.

Lifelike posters of John Paul II-complete with the hint of a halo-were out on the streets too. Vendors were following the Fisher of Souls from city to city like a flock of seagulls. Pope buttons, two for $5, pens, medallions, portraits suitable for framing, Vatican flags, pennants proclaiming WELCOME POPE JOHN PAUL II: oceans of junk, rivers of memorabilia.

...people waited patiently. Patty Taylor, a pretty, blond twelve-year-old from Milton, held a handmade sign that read I LOVE YOU, JOHN PAUL II. Why did she and her family pick this spot? "Because he'll have to slow down to turn the corner." One sign stood out even more than the big WITAM, JAN PAWEL II placard above LaSalle's bar. VIVA EL PAPA it read. And in small letters below LOS CUBANOS. "I am from Miami Beach," the old woman said who held it. "I am Cuban." She was Noemi Sarmenteros, 75 years...
