...HARVARD GOAL! Paul Dufault wins the faceoff, and the puck bounces around. Despite taking several hacks, no one can really get a good shot on net, until Dufault slides it past an out-of-position Scrivens from the left side. Harvard 2, Cornell...
...John Paul, aware of Fatima's earlier Russia prophecy and already in 1981 deeply engaged in his own fight against world communism, became convinced that he was the Bishop in white in the vision described by Lucia; that Our Lady had prophesied that he would be shot, but had then turned the path of the bullet at the last instant. In 1982, he made the first of several pilgrimages to Fatima. In 1990, he donated the near-fatal bullet to the shrine there, a gesture that sent fatimists into a renewed frenzy of speculation. In April of 2000, he resolved...

In a forward to the The Last Secret, Pope Benedict waxes nostalgic about how he and Bertone had "lived" the chapter "that addresses the publication of the third part of the Secret of Fatima in that memorable time of the Great Jubilee of the year 2000." He ends his thoughts thus: "I invoke upon all who approach...
