...pursuit of heretics as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith meant that heads would roll. Would there be more like Thomas Reese, the open-minded editor of the Jesuit magazine America, whose departure was apparently sealed with Benedict's election? When would the new Pope tear into the ecclesiastic "filth" inside his church and the "dictatorship of relativism" outside it that he had diagnosed preconclave? Benedict's first 100 days have offered no definitive answers, but occasional modest indicators--plus a frank give-and-take with some of his alpine hosts on Day 98--showed...
...were hiding inside. When the suspects failed to give themselves up, witnesses say, the officers stuck a strip of plastic explosive around the edge of the apartment door and blew it off. A bare-chested man emerged, his arms in the air, and was led away. Police fired tear gas into the house, and two more shirtless men appeared on the balcony, vomiting and spitting from the gas.

...piece of NASCAR ingenuity already deployed in Iraq: the layers of clear plastic sheets on the front of race-car windshields, which crews can quickly tear off each time oil or grit obstructs the driver's view. Similar Mylar sheets are now used on Black Hawk helicopters, whose windshields in the past had to be routinely replaced after getting pitted by desert sand. A set of layered sheets, which costs $1,100, is a lot cheaper than the $15,000 windshields. Could an invasion of flashy logos be far behind...
