Pope declares MA man's recovery a miracle, beatifies Cardinal Newman
Pope Benedict XVI placed Cardinal John Henry Newman, an influential 19th century Anglican convert, on the path to possible sainthood Friday by approving a recent miracle in Massachusetts attributed to his intercession. Newman, a hero to many Anglicans and Roman Catholics alike, can now be beatified. A second miracle is necessary for him to be declared a saint - an event which, if it happens, would make him the first English-born saint since the Reformation. The miracle approved Friday by the pope concerns the medically inexplicable cure of a Marshfield resident, John Sullivan, who suffered from debilitating back pain for years but was cured after praying to Newman.

Michael Jackson was much more than the King of Pop - SOUNDOFF
When Michael Jackson anointed himself "King of Pop" over two decades ago, there was considerable rumbling about his hubris: Yes, he may have become a world sensation with record-setting sales of "Thriller," and yes, he may have had a string of No. 1 hits with smashes like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It," but the KING OF ALL POP MUSIC? Surely, in a modern music history that has given us Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder and so many other greats, that title was more than a bit inflated.
