...change in style could hardly have been more telling. Almost every day at about 8:30 a.m. last week, a burgundy Ford station wagon and a white Dodge escorted by two police motorcycles pulled away from Mexico City's southern suburb of Coyoacán. The modest motorcade traveled unobtrusively, inching along in the morning rush hour's endless traffic snarl and dutifully stopping at every traffic light. Finally, about 30 minutes later, it would arrive at the massive and ornate National Palace. A short, handsome figure with graying hair at his temples would emerge...

Says he: "They can't tell me this isn't a great country. Where else could this kind of thing happen to someone who used to wash dishes...
Since his installation nearly three months ago, Archbishop Joseph Bernardin has barnstormed his new archdiocese, the largest in the nation. He has called on Polish parishioners in the blue-collar suburb of Cicero, conducted a prayer service in honor of the city's Hispanics, mingled with crowds at an ethnic-heritage Mass and family picnic in Grant Park and appeared in full ecclesiastical garb to bless Catholic charismatics. He has alternately pressed the flesh of the faithful and turned a sympathetic ear to complaints about parochial-school funds and church closings. However distressing the nuclear dilemma...
