Thursday morning brought the Pope back to Wadowice (pop. 15,000), where he was born and grew up. The village's central plaza was officially renamed Red Army Square, but the townspeople still call it Market Square. The Pope had a quick snack as he chatted with Monsignor Edward Zacher, the aging priest who was the Pope's first religious instructor. He also went to see the font where he was baptized...
Married. Eugene Paul Getty II, 17, grandson of American Oilman J.
