...England and the U.S., whose members happily refer to themselves as "shroudies." It finds its adherents among everyday Catholics and among the exalted as well: during an in-flight press conference in 1989 on his way to Madagascar, when asked if he believed the shroud to be genuine, John Paul II replied, "I think...
...most important decisions they could have made at the time. Says anthropologist R. Ervin Taylor, director of the radiocarbon-dating lab at the University of California at Riverside: "If they sampled in the wrong place, then they were idiots--and I know that's not the case." Geoscientist Paul Damon, a member of the University of Arizona team that tested one of the 1988 samples, hastens to say that the swatch was selected conscientiously and on the advice of textile experts.

Comstock found some of the plants in Nepal, riding a mother elephant named Durgha Kali who recalled Paul from a previous visit and insisted on porting him again. As Comstock tells it, he would point to plants; Durgha would pull them out and pass them up to her master. Like any good Imagineer, Comstock must not only talk to the animals (and plants) but also put his vision...
