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."
