Before an Easter crowd of tens of

John Paul the Second appeared at his
apartment window. It was an emotional
moment.

A microphone was ready for the Pope to
deliver his blessing even though he
seemed stronger--only a few sounds came
out in a sort of whisper.

ROME

IT SEEMED THE POPE WAS TRYING TO SPEAK,
BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO. HE STILL HAS A
TUBE IN HIS WINDPIPE TO HELP HIM
BREATHE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT
THE POPE HAD TRIED TO SPEAK PUBLICLY IN
TWO WEEKS.

There's been a great deal of
speculation here in Rome about just how
ill the pope is. He did take part in
Good Friday ceremonies but only via a
live tv hook-up from his private chapel
in the Vatican.

John Paul The Second's frail health
presents a new challenge for Vatican
officials how to reassure world's
Catholics that he is still in charge,
even if he no longer speaks.

SOT-FATHER JOHN WAUK, PROFESSOR,

PONTIFICAL UNIV. OF THE HOLY CROSS
40;55 THE FACT THAT HE CAN T SPEAK IS
IN ITSELF NOT A GREAT PROBLEMAS LONG AS
HE CAN EXPRESS HIMSELF ONE WAY OR THE

OTHER HE CAN EXERCISE ALL OF THE
AUTHORITY OF THE POPE.

Yet this is the first time in his
vibrant papacy that John Paul the
second missed-out on most of holy week.

And the true state of his health is
still a mystery to those beyond his
inner circle.

eight point lead with under 5 minutes
to play.

But the lead was down to three

before Sparks teed it up again and got
the three to drop after four bounces on
the rim to force overtime.

After officials reviewed the
play to make sure Sparks had both feet

it done in two extra frames. *CG final Michigan State Paul Davis comes up with a big rebound 94 slam, and the Spartans advance 94 to Kentucky 88.
