...blindness to the needs of the members of the church that this Pope will not put into place the changes needed to make the church available to all who seek it--namely, married priests and women priests. I have left the church because of the priest abuse scandals and the lack of outrage by previous Popes over this moral hide-and-seek game that the church has played for many years. The Pope's statement on this scandal will be too little too late. Carol M. Fleming, SUTTONS BAY, MICH...
...when he took office in 1976, Patrick Hillery was the youngest President in Irish history--and possibly Ireland's most unifying. A former physician, Hillery headed four government ministries--from Education to Foreign Affairs--before his 14-year tenure as President. Though he initially didn't seek re-election when his first term ended in 1983, voters from multiple parties clamored for him to continue.

Artists making art indistinct from the ways in which they live their...
...Astatke captures the sound of the dewel, a stone slab used to call devotees to prayer in rural Ethiopia, in a resonant vibraphone melody. Recontextualized in a jazz setting, the spiritual significance of these melodies transcends religious and ethnic boundaries and reaches a truly international audience. Astatke does not seek to establish an isolated, strictly Ethiopian niche within the arts community, focusing instead on “finding out the Ethiopian contributions” to international art and music. His desire to explore a broad spectrum of hybrid culture typifies the outlook of the second generation...
