...residents for the power plant at the August hearing, a "vast majority" of the people on the Hill are against the plant, Grady maintains. Still, he knows that even a stack of 350 petitions by Mission Hill residents strongly against the construction can't match an in-person turnout of RTH at a hearing...
Beckwith's continued remonstration brought the Walzer research to a meeting of the Medical Faculty in mid-March, with a proposal that the faculty reopen investigation of the ethics of the research.

There were questions of the Pope's health and the civic and ecological strains a Holy Year might place on the swollen and strike-plagued city of Rome. Moreover, a low turnout would proclaim Catholic indifference. Two years ago, Paul spoke openly of his doubts. "We have asked ourselves if such a tradition should be continued in our times," he said, because of all the changes since Vatican Council II and "the practical lack of interest in many parts of the modern world...
