...recollections of a Marine master gunnery sergeant, is a crisp, realistic novella. Part 2, narrated in the fastidious accents of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, makes the arcane milieu of the Nine Old Men for once intelligible. Part 3 is the center of the novel. Its narrator, Ugo Cardinal Galeotti, is an urbane Vatican veteran who enjoys fine wine and good company. He possesses a thoughtful spiritual vision as well, and it is through his eyes that the reader is led along on Declan Walsh's odyssey of the soul as Pope Francesco...
...DIED. Ugo La Malfa, 75, newly named Deputy Premier of Italy and venerated leader of his country's small but influential Republican Party; of a stroke; in Rome. Active in the anti-Fascist resistance during World War II, the Sicilian-born La Malfa established himself as a champion of lean, efficient government and unfettered private enterprise while serving in seven governments and every parliament since 1946.

...Cardinal. Antonio Cardinal Poma of Bologna, 68, is a kindly, humble man, a stern foe of any detente with Italian Communism. He is also head of Italy's national bishops' conference ? but suffers from erysipelas ("St. Anthony's fire"), a painful, recurrent skin disease. The same affliction troubles Ugo Cardinal Poletti, 64, the Pope's Vicar for Rome and thus the capital's real bishop, a prelate who has shown a vigorous concern for the city's poor...
...outside chance is Corrado Cardinal Ursi, 70, Archbishop of Naples. A widely admired pastor of the poor, Ursi travels from parish to parish to be sure all his people are cared for. His serious drawback is his parochialism: he speaks only Italian and has never served outside the country. Ugo Cardinal Poletti, 64, vicar-general for the Pope as Bishop of Rome, has been mentioned as a candidate because of his own concern with the capital's poor, but his efforts have been less intense and less successful than Ursi's. One powerful Italian, Pericle Felici...
