COMMENTS: SKI BUM
Pope John Paul II continues to make news even after his death. ABC's David Wright (subscription required) gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the pontiff's reign with a plug for a new book A Life With Karol by his closest confidant Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz. Back in 1978 he muttered to his friend in Roman slang: "What have they done, electing a Polish Pope?" After meeting Mother Teresa, he told her he "wished he could run the Vatican from Calcutta." He would sneak past the Swiss Guard incognito to go skiing: "He rode the lifts with everyone else."
