...took the Catholic Church out on the road, ministering every year to millions of the faithful ecstatic at his presence in their midst. And his travels, more than anything, may have helped him reinvigorate and grow the Church in Africa, Latin America and Asia even as it struggled to retain its flock in Europe and North America...

Air France CEO Jean-Cyril Spinetta and KLM chief Leo van Wijk said the two firms won't cut staff and will operate as before from their hubs, Charles de Gaulle in Paris and Amsterdam's Schiphol. And to retain KLM's international traffic rights, they've had to create a holding company that will own all the shares of both companies but control only 49% of KLM's votes. (Two foundations and the Dutch government will retain the rest for three years.) Any savings will take years to realize. Still...
