...XXIII; of a heart attack; in Venice. Urbani, a moderate-conservative, took a middle position on many of the issues dividing the College of Cardinals, and his greatest attribute as a papabile was that he offended fewest of the church's factions.

This chick who was a friend of his said, "Why don't you come up and smoke some?" So I went up there and started smoking it out of this Chinese opium pipe. We smoked it for a long time.

A Canadian DC-4 survey plane, with a special ice-scanning dome, surveyed the 1,100-mile passage. Photographs were taken of the route just ahead and dropped to the Manhattan for study. Two helicopters, based on the ship's fantail, flew ahead of the convoy, occasionally landing...
