RECENTLY VACATED by the chairman, the boardroom of the giant, global business called the Catholic Church would make fascinating eavesdropping any time, but never more so than now. With more than a billion followers, amounting to half the world's Christians -- and 17% of the planet's entire population -- it is the largest, and wealthiest, religious and charitable institution in the world. The 117 multi-national members of the College of Cardinals currently discussing, and eventually voting for, a successor to the late Pope John Paul II have much more on their minds than his mere religious credentials. There is the most obvious problem of the disproportion between the faith's representation at the top and among its 500-600 million adherents in Africa and Central-South America. One solutio...

By now, you probably know that after giving a speech decrying the lack of civility in politics last week, Heinz Kerry accosted a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial writer, Colin McNickle. McNickle asked her what she meant by the phrase "un-American "activities," a phrase Heinz Kerry hadn't used. (She'd used the first word.) "You're from the Tribune Review?" Heinz Kerry snapped. "That's understandable. You said something I didn't say. Now shove it. Perhaps the bigger problem is that she's a woman. A man who accosted a reporter this way might be called "unyielding," "tough" or even "publisher of the Tribune-Review." All but one of these is a compliment. Women, though, aren't supposed to be so assertive. You could see it on PBS's coverage of Heinz Kerry's speech at the Democratic Convent...

Gilbert Arenas is open, candid and prone to bouts of stream of consciousness, a reporter's delight who eschews the one-game-at-a- time boilerplate that is de rigueur in the NBA. The otherworldly dimension of Arenas goes down with back- slapping amusement in good times. Yet his uncensored proclivity can be a mixed property in troubling times.

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar may give way to Gail, Melanie and Barbara - at least in the Church of England. Church officials yesterday agreed to drop the term "Three Wise Men" from a newly approved prayer book because there's no proof the trio of visitors to the infant Jesus were male - or even learned.
