Each case is pondered by at least three of the eighteen auditors (called "black cardinals" for their black, ermine-lined formal vestments), whose dean is white-haired, Pennsylvania-born Msgr. Francis J. Brennan, 65, a veteran of 20 years' service on the Rota...

In Bologna, Carra was nearly killed when an exasperated antifuturist hurled a bench at him, and in Treviso the three painters had to be rescued by the police from a mob.

BBC's half-finished complex of glass and brick is the largest TV factory in the world and even includes a studio that can be flooded to create a lake set. It represents a .$45 million bet that the state-chartered, viewer-financed (for an annual fee of $11.20 per set owner) BBC-TV can crack U.S. domination of world TV markets...
