Fan, who had been thinking of defecting for many years, prepared for his escape by listening to broadcasts from Taiwan giving directions on routes and proper signals for defectors to use. His opportunity came when his unit was transferred last month to a base in Fukien province, just across the Taiwan Strait...

Benedict subsequently designated Neumann as Venerable (worthy of veneration and a proper recipient of private prayers)-the beginning of the long process to sainthood. In doing so the Pope set a precedent for the future judgment of possible saints by declaring: "Even the most simple works, performed with constant perfection in the midst of inevitable difficulties, spell heroism in any servant...
