...Quaker Wishbone (nearly 400 yards on the day) tore up the Astroturf the way Secretariat tears up dirt, and before you could say Frank Rizzo, Penn had a two-touchdown lead after its first two possessions...
SALVATORE PAPPALARDO, Archbishop of Palermo, 60. Regional jealousies are strong in Italy, even among Christian bishops. There has not been a Sicilian Pope in twelve centuries.

The Congregation for Saints' Causes continued to investigate the sanctity of candidates last week, while Villot's former secretariat acknowledged the mountains of condolence messages.
