...gleefully mugging across the stage in a two-step, Cobb is, well, the top. Cam Thornley also makes the most of his role as Moon-face Martin, a public enemy who can't move up from his #13 ranking. Under wraps in priest guise, Moon delivers a sidesplitting mock sermon and, later, inspirational song urging Billy to "Be Like the Bluebird." Dallin is slightly stiffer but shines in her singing roles, particularly "I Get a Kick...
...Jesse, run! Run, Jesse, run.The chants roll toward him, rumbling like a pent-up storm, rising to the rafters and the stained-glass portrait of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. With the practiced rhythms of preacher and pitchman, he launches his sermon on power. "There's a freedom train acoming," he intones. "But you got to be registered to ride."

Standing under the Madonna of Piekary, an image of the Virgin Mary much revered by the region's coal miners, John Paul told his predominantly proletarian audience that work is "at the heart of all social life" and is governed "by a just moral...
Steering clear of overtly political references, John Paul delivered a sermon on Christ's famous beatitude "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." In a powerful and resonant voice, the Pope made a passionate plea for national reconciliation. Said he: "Inch by inch and day by day, it is necessary to build up trust-and to deepen trust." But the word solidarity kept cropping up. He told all those who worked that he brought his "solidarity and that of the church." A "hunger for righteousness," he explained, developed from "love...
