...Democratic Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts was pleasantly surprised by the turnout of some 250 people in a hot, stuffy school auditorium in Harwich, on Cape Cod. He caught not a single question about foreign affairs or even about next year's presidential election-despite the fact that Ted Kennedy's Hyannis Port home is only twelve miles away and Tsongas has said that he might run as a stand-in for Kennedy in the Massachusetts Democratic primary.

Vatican aides are discomfited by the innovation, which slows processions and complicates protocol...
...they knew, as his mother wrote in a letter that has survived, that "we can no longer exist legally ..." Before the parents were seized and shipped off to their deaths, they managed to have their son accepted in a Roman Catholic boarding school at Montluçon as "Paul-Henri Ferland," a Catholic orphan...
