Almost Certain Approval. Each region will be governed by a Paris-appointed prefect, but his decisions will be made in coordination with proposed regional councils consisting of locally elected deputies, representatives of local communes and departments, and appointed officials such as chamber of commerce presidents. These councils will levy local taxes, prepare local budgets and plan economic development. If the plan is approved in the forthcoming referendum-and that approval seems almost certain-the regions may be able to "renew their personality," as French Technocrat Louis Armand once put it, "without having to do it through that monster that...

Sample question: "How do you respond to those who present you as petulant, adventurous, imprudent, fanatical and hypnotizing?" After receiving the questions, Illich wrote an eight-page letter to Franjo Cardinal Seper, the Congregation's prefect, explaining that he could not answer them.

What did Louis, the prefect of police, throw into the trash can at the end of Casablanca? Who was Bob Hope's radio announcer? What was the consolation prize on The $64,000 Question? Who cares?

They have made Trivia-a campy game of inconsequential questions and answers about radio, TV, movies, comic books and popular songs-a nationwide...
...never been a bar to holding high office. Pope John XXIII was 81 at his death. Pope Leo XIII reigned until he died at 93. Celestine III was raised to the papacy at 85. Of the 97 current cardinals, 45 are 75 or older. The Vati can's Prefect of the Congregation of Seminaries is the feeble Giuseppe Car dinal Pizzardo, 89. And under canon law, bishops, no matter how aged and ailing, remain rulers of their dioceses -although the church has traditionally provided coadjutors to assist them...
