...church has a real problem in that there is no provision in church legislation for a Pope who becomes incapable of acting as Pope." While the Vatican can operate with an incapacitated Pope, important decisions (the naming of bishops) and documents would have to wait until he was well enough to approve of them--or until a new Pope came around. A mentally compromised Pope kept alive artificially would present the church with a constitutional crisis. If a Pope can see that coming, says Greeley, he should choose--or be persuaded--to retire. In which case, canon law is simple...
That contradiction is not lost on Hollywood. "Porcelain isn't fine enough to describe how fragile she is," says director Philip Noyce, who nevertheless cast her as a feisty policewoman opposite Denzel Washington in last fall's hit thriller The Bone Collector. "She's not burned out with the joy of performing. She's in her element because she can set parameters for a character, whereas I suspect she doesn't know her own boundaries emotionally and physically. I suspect she's happiest when she's not being Angelina Jolie...
...inside. "It's smaller than I remember," says D'Angelo. He goes right for the piano. "It's the same one," he says happily. He sits down and starts to play. He only strokes out a few chords, just a short spell of rich, gospelly magic, but it's enough.

But in a few seconds, with a few notes, he gives a glimpse of the power...
...policemen, who would rush into war-torn areas to keep law and order. Cops are scarce in countries recovering from civil war, but military units deployed as peacekeepers balk at doing police work. So the U.N. has to start from scratch each time, enlisting nations to contribute policemen. "Getting enough of them is always a problem," says a senior State Department official. For example, it has been seven months since the Kosovo war ended, but the U.N. has only about 2,000 of the 4,700 policemen it needs there. The fighting in East Timor ended four months...
...Even so, I asked Primrose to scan the room for me and check out the new crop. "I think there's a lot of good-looking women," she said. She thought I might meet them at company picnics, which often feature the AOL hot-air balloon. This sounded romantic enough, until I heard about the AOL race car, which David Hasselhoff drove in a Baywatch episode. I don't think there's a woman on the planet who wouldn't be putty around that thing...
