...Still, Ratzinger's writings-dating back to his seminal 1968 work "Introduction to Christianity," in which he confronts many of the same themes addressed in "Deus Caritas Est"-stand out for their depth of thought and clarity of prose.

An avid Mozart fan, the new Pope might even be open to the message from the old Beatles' song "All You Need is Love." He would insist, of course, on ergo to the title: "All You Need...
...world leader, it must have set some sort of miserable record: in a poll last December, just 1% of French voters said they wanted President Jacques Chirac to stand for reelection in 2007.

The engine room sets the tempo, the panmen follow, thumping and reverberating, and the North Stand, a rather rickety structure of standing-room-only bleachers erected especially for the competition, explodes with energy-the wooden planks bow precariously as they're rhythmically pounded in unison by the feet...
...home front, the Deans of the College have learned it’s generally better not to try and hold back student protests, as they tried to do with anti-war demonstrations outside the Science Center last spring. Yet they embarrassed themselves this November when they tried to physically stand in the way of a peaceful pro-labor march through the Yard. It didn’t work.One day, this administration—like Bush’s—is going to have to learn that you can’t stand between Americans and their civil liberties.Diversity...
