Lovely article by Richard Owen about the Pope 14 Years, 9 Months ago
in the Times (firewall; no link; sorry) - he's retiring after 15 years and writes a moving page about meeting The Pope personally on the plane; the best part is his description of Benedict when a mere Cardinal eating in local cafes (one of which I ate in 2 months ago).
