looking for a world audience."On the one hand, the pope is a
very respected figure in Brazil, which is of course a majority Catholic
country," he said. "On the other hand, all eyes are going to
be on Brazil, so the pope's visit would be a very attractive
platform for groups to get their messages across."For Brazil's government,
the pope's visit is seen as a test run for the country's
hosting of next year's World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Olympics,
which will also draw millions of visitors.In preparation, Brazilian soldiers
have invaded a swath of Rio's slums to push out drug gangs
and re-establish their authority. In large part because of slum violence,
Brazil suffers one of the world's highest homicide rates, which has doubled
in the past three decades, according to a new report.Nonetheless, a recent
visit to the slum Francis is set to enter revealed only two
police officers parked just a few meters from the chapel where he'll
pray. Journalists were warned by adolescent boys to not take pictures of
certain areas where drug peddlers were active, standard practice in slums
that have yet to be pacified.Varginha is one of Rio's smallest slums,
a triangle-shaped chunk of flat, dusty land sitting between two putrid waterways
full of raw sewage. On the third side runs a busy main
road with an elevated commuter train that noisily rolls by overhead.Brazilian
police haven't revealed how they'll secure the slum when Francis a
In this June 10, 2013 file photo, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan,
with Senate President John Cullerton looking on at left, speaks to reporters
after a meeting with Gov. Pat Quinn in Chicago.APShown here is former
Metra CEO Alex Clifford.FNCA former Chicago-area executive is blowing the
whistle in the latest case to showcase what is derisively known as
the "Illinois way" -- politicians' practice of doing business by dishing
out favors to friends who contribute generously to their campaigns.This
time, a top-ranking Democrat has been implicated. The case involves Illinois'
most powerful Democratic leader -- state House Speaker Michael Madigan --
and the former head of the Chicago area's commuter rail service, Metra.
In a rare move earlier this week, Metra's ex-CEO Alex Clifford came
forward publicly to reveal specific details about how he says he was
forced out of his lucrative job after refusing to cave to political
pressure.Clifford, who was hired from California in 2001, testified during
a recent Regional Transportation Authority board meeting in Chicago. For
two hours he spoke openly about what he calls serious "ethical and
moral character flaws" from people who practice the "Illinois way" of doing
business, including Madigan.Clifford claims Madigan specifically wanted
a pay raise for a Metra employee, Patrick Ward, who has been
a generous contributor to Madigan's campaign, according to state records.
Clifford testified: "What

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> anyahu, who adopted tougher
starting positions than his predecessors.A senior member in Netanyahu's
coalition said Sunday that Israel has made no concessions so far."Insisting
on our principles has paid off," Economics Minister Naftali Bennett, head
of the pro-settler Jewish Home party, said in a statement. "It was
proven that when we insist, we can have negotiations without preconditions,
without a (settlement) freeze and definitely without the bizarre demand
to negotiate based on the 1967 borders."Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon
told The Associated Press that it would be a mistake to enter
negotiations based on the Palestinian demands. Danon said he opposes any
release of veteran Palestinian prisoners.He said Netanyahu is to brief ministers
Monday about Kerry's mission, but that so far, he has not heard
the prime minister speak about a possible recognition of the 1967 borders
as a baseline.For Israel, one of the main benefits of resuming negotiations
is that it removes, at least temporarily, the threat of unilateral Palestinian
action at the United Nations.Last year, the General Assembly recognized
a state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem,
enabling the Palestinians to seek membership in U.N. institutions and possibly
taking their complaints over Israeli settlement-building on occupied land
to the International Criminal Court. Abbas has said he would hold off
in the event talks with Israel resume.In the end, A
Broun, R-Ga., said, "We never did see a
repeal and replace bill last time," referring to the 2011-2012 two-year
term that followed the Republican landslide. "I hope we can this time,
and I'll keep fighting for it."Broun, running for the Senate from Georgia
in 2014 as a conservatives' conservative, has drafted legislation of his
own that relies on a series of tax breaks and regulatory changes
such as permitting insurance companies to sell coverage across state lines
to expand access to health care.Other Republicans are at work on different
bills, in the House Energy and Commerce Committee headed by Upton, and
elsewhere.Rep. Steven Scalise of Louisiana, who leads the conservative Republican
Study Conference, said the organization is working on legislation to reduce
health care costs "without the mandates and the taxes" in the current
law.Like others involved with the issue, he provided no timetable and few
specifics.At the same time, the other half of the 2010 pledge to
"repeal and replace" is getting a workout.The House voted last week to
delay two requirements, the 38th and 39th time they have gone on
record in favor of repealing, reducing or otherwise neutering the system
that bears Obama's name.In the case of one of the rules, a
requirement for businesses to provide insurance to their workers, the administration
announced a one-year delay earlier this month.Democrats and even some Republicans
say the intense focus on repealing the hea
