Martini, however, is a Jesuit, and the conservative College of Cardinals is not likely to look kindly upon even a moderate member of an order with a reputation for liberalism. And Vatican watchers never tire of invoking this aphorism: "He who goes into the conclave the next Pope, comes out a Cardinal." Martini has done everything to discourage discussion of his chances of succession -- including voicing his desire to be buried in the Holy Land.

George Willard, the Krafts' son-in-law, who also lives in the house, allegedly approached Minerva Ramos two years ago with a tire iron in hand and told her, "I can't wait to grab you somewhere and beat the hell out of you." Last May Kathleen was found guilty of criminal trespass after banging on the Ramoses' garage door, apparently in an effort to set off their burglar alarm. In October, after the Ramoses...
