...Rome is willing to gamble that a stronger if smaller corps of clergymen will eventually generate more vocations. There is some evidence to support that: the total number of seminarians worldwide has jumped from 62,000 to more than 92,000 during John Paul II's 12-year papacy. That is still far from adequate. Moreover, new recruits do not outnumber the priests who retire or die each year, but the net loss was down to 313 last year.

...FIRST MAN IN ROME, by Colleen McCullough (Morrow; 896 pages; $22.95), is a truly astonishing work, the first of five planned volumes about life -- mostly political life -- in ancient Rome.
