...that's what this place is all about: Spin Row, where the ink- stained wretches wield sweet, if momentary, control over the professional flacks. Once, they may have shut us down. And tonight we pay them back...
...Amorth, exorcist for the Diocese of Rome, the heir to the throne of St. Peter recently spent half an hour struggling--literally--with a demon from hell.

A 19-year-old woman began screaming insults in what Italian newspapers called "a cavernous voice." Struggling with guards, she displayed "a superhuman strength." The frail Pontiff did not hesitate. After the apparent demoniac was hurried to a secluded area, he prayed over her, hugged her and promised to celebrate...
