...words in his first greeting as Pope, but Romans got to see the widest smile ever seen from the sometimes-severe Ratzinger. Still he may have other kinds of corrections to make. He was seen by progressives here, like in the U.S. and elsewhere in the West, as the symbol of the last papacy's doctrinal rigidity. To those in step with Pope John Paul's theological stance, Ratzinger was part guru and part policy wonk on the most fundamental Church questions...

Hudson is a sad symbol for many others. Tall (6 ft. 4 in.), square-jawed and handsome, he gravitated naturally to Hollywood when he left the Navy after World War II. Henry Willson, the agent who turned Marilyn Louis into Rhonda Fleming and Arthur Gelien into Tab Hunter, thought it was appropriate that Roy Fitzgerald should become Rock Hudson, as solid as Gibraltar and as steady as the river that flows past Manhattan's towers. A series of B movies followed, and through hard work Hudson learned the craft if not the art of acting. He gave a fine performance...
