...Texas do not exactly like to talk about mesquite; to do so is a little like discussing roaches with a New Yorker. But in some ways, mesquite controls and defines the landscape. Because it exerts such exorbitant claims upon a starkly limited water supply, mesquite (in conspiracy with prickly pear, cedar and other heavy drinkers) dictates what will flourish and what will wither; it decides whether the cattle and sheep will have enough range grass to grow fat upon. Water and brush run certain segments of the West Texas economy in an almost embarrassingly thorough way. Sisyphus rolled a boulder...

Doctors at Rome's Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic removed the 26 stitches they had inserted after a would-be assassin's bullet ripped through the Pope's abdomen on May 13.
