...been raining appointments and grants on the state. For example, ex-Governor Reubin Askew was made Carter's special trade negotiator, and Miami was awarded a $2 million grant to rejuvenate the Little Havana district. In addition, the President's people in Washington have dispatched a steady stream of high-level visitors, starting with the President and Rosalynn Carter in late August.

But a chattering stream of newcomers moves constantly across the Common, spilling out of the Park Street station. They are greeted first by a battalion of souvenir hawkers peddling commemorative medals, half a dozen brands of Pope programs, (the best of which has a full page of the holy father kissing the ground in different locales), dumb bumper stickers (I saw the Pope in Mass...
