Some Cardinals found the palace constricting last time because of discomfort, isolation and the heat. Opponents of the shift pointed out that the stifling August weather is now gone and all the materials are at hand to prepare the familiar quarters. Besides, remarked St. Louis' John Carberry, "some...
