...others on motorbikes. By Easter Sunday, 20,000 had registered in the olive green army field tent posted as the "Taizé Community Welcome Bureau." They were young-most of them still in their teens-many of them wearing sweatshirts labeled with such slogans as I FEEL FREE!, SONO TUO FRATELLO! (I am your brother) and DIESES JAHR TAIZE (This year, Taizé). The youngsters had not come for some modish Jesus rock festival. The goal of this growing annual pilgrimage is the country monastery of Taizé, where 70 monks live simply in the service...
...sarai solo," Leonardo da Vinci remarked five hundred years ago, "tu sarai tutto tuo" (If you are alone, you are your own man).

...favelados were saddened by the loss of the only policeman they ever liked, the cops were left completely at loose ends. Though Perpétuo's killer was quickly captured at the scene, Horseface was still at large, and a milling, uncoordinated hunt for him was mounted. In the last two weeks police have pulled in 500 smalltime hoods for their own brand of "questioning," have descended en masse on dozens of favelas. Brandishing machine guns, they burst in on one surprised family and so frightened the father that he died of a heart attack. Last week the police...
