...Further north, an equally outspoken candidate is Mexico City's Archbishop NORBERTO CARDINAL RIVERA CARRERA, 62. He epitomizes the feverish Catholicism of his 19 million mostly poor acolytes, boosting native rites and symbols. But Rivera Carrera is no liberal; he has close ties to the Legionaries of Christ, a flourishing right-wing society of priests. He is sometimes a too-fierce defender of the faith: when the U.S. pedophile crisis broke, he saw it as a "campaign of media persecution against the entire Catholic church." Another archconservative is DARIO CARDINAL CASTRILLON HOYOS, 75, whose star is said to be fading...
...That's about to change. Officials in Manila say the final results of the forensic investigation should be released within weeks. Says National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales: "Because of the nature of the wreck, half-submerged in the bay, it will be difficult for investigators to prove 100% that it was Abu Sayyaf. But the overwhelming evidence points that way, and I'm certain they were the ones behind the attack." Thus, the SuperFerry 14 bombing will go onto the rolls as the world's fourth deadliest terrorist strike since Sept. 11, 2001, and Asia's worst since the Bali...

It's a tiny group, but it's growing...
...weren't for the gold, all would be well. We would have time to prepare the Indians for the maliciousness of the white man." So says Father Norberto Hohenscherer, one of the many Salesian missionaries who have governed, educated and protected 20,000 Indians of the Tukano and other tribes over the past seven decades in remote northwestern Brazil. Time, however, is rapidly running out for both missionaries and Indians. The discovery of potentially vast lodes of gold and other minerals is transforming life in a wide region around Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira, a small town in the Amazon jungle...
...Lines, and a court-enjoined strike by the engineers against Pan American World Airways. Out of his paneled office suite overlooking Constitution Avenue, Goldberg ricocheted from one bargaining table to another-most evenings until past midnight. One night he left the reception he was giving for Philippine Labor Secretary Norberto Romualdez Jr. to get back to the Pan Am meetings, carried along with him hors d'oeuvres and turkey slices that served as dinner for the negotiators, who finally reached a settlement at 2 a.m. Next night the same stale leftovers sustained Goldberg and the deadlocked Eastern parties until...
