Not Sure if this in English or Not
From heraldtribune.com: Southwest Florida's Information Leader:
"The Great Friend" was published Tuesday by the tiny Kwadrat publishing house in the southern city of Krakow, where Karol Wojtyla lived for 40 years before being appointed pope in October 1978. The publishing house initially printed 2,000 copies of the paperback, priced at $8.
"As a witness, I wanted to show how facts from his earlier life influenced and helped him as pope - the gift of speaking clearly to an audience, the strong voice, the unfailing memory, the gestures," Halina Kwiatkowska said of her 160-page book.
Manager Jacek Stroka said he persuaded Kwiatkowska to write the book to mark 25 years of John Paul's pontificate, 45 years since Wojtyla became a bishop and 65 years since both graduated from high school.

Linked on Osgood's Site
Amy is speaking before a crowd in Michigan on Cinco de Mayo about the bones the saints left behind. In her research she found that a sight I have on shrines is linked to Charles Osgood's site under the link title "Shrine of the Holy Relices."

Pope Beatifies Inventor of Cappuccino
From CNN.com:
History books also show that with a vast Ottoman Turk army beating a path to Vienna in 1683, d'Aviano was sent by the then-pope to unite the outnumbered Christian troops, spurring them to victory.
As the Turks fled, legend has it they left behind sacks of coffee which the Christians found too bitter, so they sweetened it with honey and milk.
The drink, now supped by millions around the world, was called cappuccino after the Capuchin order of monks to which d'Aviano belonged.

I Know the Feeling...
A Zagreb Professor spent three days trapped under books. Very Easterish and of course I relate because there are piles of manuscripts sitting on my desk that sometimes can feel more like a tomb I must enter rather than the next great bestseller that I'm sure is in there somewhere...
