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.

The music of Michael from Thriller to Invincible

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.
