Free-marketeers like Feldstein would just as soon let that happen and get it over with. Says Herbert Stein: "The dollar should be allowed to decline as far and as fast as it will." But that course runs a gigantic risk: a free- falling dollar could easily touch off a panic flight of foreign capital from the U.S. That is about the last thing anyone wants, since it could trigger a worldwide financial collapse.

His visit last year to a Rome synagogue made him the first known Pope to enter a Jewish house of worship since St. Peter. But last May he beatified a nun, Edith Stein, a convert from Judaism, as a heroic Christian martyr. Jews had protested that Stein was gassed at Auschwitz not for her faith but for her ancestry. John Paul has also defended the actions of the German bishops under the Nazis, despite accusations that some were less than aggressive in their opposition...
