...Peter's and three other basilicas, reciting the required number of Our Fathers and Hail Marys. In 1975, a full ("plenary") indulgence is still offered to pilgrims who pray in at least one of the basilicas, or to persons who join local pilgrimages if they are unable to travel to Rome. In the new interpretation that emerged out of Vatican II, Pope Paul has emphasized that the church's aim in granting indulgences is not only to "expiate" deserved punishment, but to stimulate "works of piety, penance and charity...
...weather instruments. Any violent thunderstorm, of course, raises a possibility of such dangerous air currents. But the problem in combatting this hazard is that it is capricious, its intensity is unpredictable, and to close down airports every time the wind shear possibility remotely exists would seriously disrupt air travel. U.S. investigators have, in fact, cited wind shear as contributing to the probable cause of only one previous accident: the crash of an Iberia Airlines DC-10 at Boston's Logan Airport on Dec. 17, 1973.

Lately, with Wiser in charge of operations, management has asked pilots, whose average salary is about $40,000 a year, to take a 10% pay cut, pointing out that top management has already reduced its own pay. Unpersuaded, the pilots have hired their own financial experts to analyze...
...shattered several years later when Shelley met Mary Godwin, daughter of the genteel radical, William Godwin. He eloped with her-and her stepsister, Claire Clairmont-generously inviting Harriet to join them as a "spiritual" sister. She refused. Shelley and his new entourage set out on years of restless travel, ending with the drowning that, Holmes suggests, Shelley half courted...
