...anything nice to say about O'Brien's debut, which closed with the host's performance of "Edelweiss," leading a Nazi and a nun in the audience to break down in tears...
...Pius IX, an oppressor of Jews in the mid-1800s, will. (The march toward canonization of another Pius--XII--has stalled in the face of renewed charges that he stood by silently during the Holocaust.) John Paul also plans to bestow sainthood on two women this year--the Polish nun Faustina Kowalska, who died in a Nazi concentration camp; and Katharine Drexel, an American socialite turned educator who dedicated her life to teaching poor blacks and Native Americans in the first half of the 1900s. And he has started his late friend Mother Teresa down the beatification path, waiving...
...always listen. A year and a half ago, Florence Seguin, 73, of Williamsburg, Va., shrugged off her physician's recommendation that she undergo a colonoscopy, a procedure in which a doctor inserts a flexible lighted tube into the colon to look for abnormal growths.

They demanded that Jeanne O'Laughlin, a Dominican sister and president of Miami's Barry University, prove there were no trapdoors in her house from which agents of the Immigration and Naturalization Service could jump out to seize the boy. Then when the grandmothers landed in Miami, their Cuban handlers kept them on the tarmac for an hour to deliver words of warning. Beware, they told the 51-year-old matriarchs: Miami's Cuban...
