almost certainly did weaken him might
have left those around him particularly
cautious."

A VERY BAD COUGH LAST SUNDAY (nat pop),

POPE'S BATTLES WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE

HAVE HIM ..FIGHTING OFF.. MUCH MORE

(STANDUP CLOSE)

THE TRACHEOTOMY "ALONE" COULD AFFECT
THE POPE'S ABILITY TO CARRY OUT HIS

DUTIES IN THE COMING DAYS.

THE OPERATION PREVENTS HIM FROM
