...manner in which you tie the Veni Creator Spiritus with I Corinthians 1: 20 in your cover story "In Search of a Pope" [Aug. 21] is inspirational.

...stories on the choice of a Pope and on the presidential prospects of Ted Kennedy [Aug. 21] provide an ironic contrast. For Pope, there is a bewildering array of choices of men of proven ability and unblemished record, so that it is hard to pick a front runner. But for President, there seem to be few options.

By last Friday, when they assembled at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica, beneath Bernini's stained-glass window portraying the Holy Spirit as a white dove in a solid circle of gold, they had carefully weighed all the papabili (possible Popes). During a Mass...
