...religious leader not by sermons or doctrinal documents, but by signs, that moment in Poland is arguably the most significant chapter of this three-year-old papacy. A German pontiff, 60 years later, crosses paths with a rainbow on the grounds of Auschwitz, a word from the sky for that which we have no words...

Environmental officials say they have been able to cut emissions and steadily increase the number of "blue sky days," a target based on air pollution levels. But earlier this year an American environmental consultant accused the city of dropping air monitoring stations from highly polluted areas out of the calculations and adding numbers from new stations in cleaner areas.
