...exchange for immunity from further prosecution. This winter we got to watch A-Rod explain his doping and Michael Phelps explain that bong and various presidential appointees account for their tax returns and Republican Party chair Michael Steele beg Rush Limbaugh's forgiveness for telling the truth. Even the Pope, who forgives people for a living, has been having trouble: he had to apologize for ever accepting the lame nonapology of an excommunicated bishop who declared that "there was not one Jew killed by the gas chambers - it was all lies, lies, lies." The bishop was entirely willing to regret...

...Square was tantalizing. The Union dormite-to-Quadling story is equivalent to a rags-to-new-rags tale. Friends who had been placed in a dumpy river House insisted I was welcome to move in with them. They jest, I thought. Inspired by the likes of Oprah and the Pope, I spent the summer contemplating the positives of Quaddage. I recalled my tour of Pforzheimer House on that fateful March day. Everyone in PfoHo did seem quite happy about their unfortunate circumstances. I’d never seen such happy people before—except for people on drugs...

The five time premier of Italy had been kidnapped...

...Pope John Paul II made evangelizing the Southern Hemisphere a priority of his papacy, visiting Africa 12 times, drawing massive crowds and presumably converting some with his charismatic presence. Benedict hopes to repeat the big crowds, particularly in an open-air mass in Luanda, Angola, on Sunday, though it remains an open question whether this Pope has the same powers of persuasion as his predecessor...

...course, because the Pope is involved, controversy follows. The perennial source of it for the church in Africa was addressed on the papal plane departing from Rome on Tuesday, as Benedict repeated the Vatican's long-standing opposition to the distribution of condoms, saying it actually hindered the fight against AIDS in Africa. The church says AIDS should be combated through sexual abstinence and reinforcment of the traditional family. But that is the standard Catholic line.
