But last week at Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence outside Rome, John Paul II held a remarkably open, unrehearsed exchange with Jewish leaders, the first by a Pontiff in modern times. By every account, the warm 75-minute encounter went well beyond smoothing ruffled feathers and gave substantive promise of uplifting the troubled relationship between Roman Catholics and Jews...

"In 40 years, I've only been in the living quarters of the White House five times," he says, and disapproves of Columnist George Will...
...follow the history of the particular illness." Others point out that if shifts are significantly shortened, medical residencies might have to be lengthened to ensure that trainees get enough experience.
