          A thoughtful and nuanced interview with Pope Francis here.

          So far he seems pretty level-headed about things....

          I heard a good joke from a Fordham graduate the other day:

          "Let's see if I get this straight: a 79-year old man with only one kidney resigns as Pope, and so they replace him with a 76-year old man with only one lung?"
          "Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

            Fordham graduates must not be very smart. Benedict XVI is 85 (soon to be 86).

              IIRC Fordham is a Jesuit college. My Dad was Class of '40. Just missed by a few days graduating @ 19.

                The WSJ has a lengthy background story on the events at the conclave that led to Pope Francis' elevation.
