POPSWhat is Clipmarks? I just read this description of clipmarks by {{pokkets}} and literally got the chills. I believe one of the odd things about clipmarks is that it is very misunderstood by the general web population.

POPSMy Friend The Cardinal ! The man soon to be John Cardinal Foley is an extraordinary human being -- a classmate of mine at Columbia Journalism 41 years ago -- one of those who helped guide the last Pope as the powerful political force who helped end communism in Europe, and who will hopefully help this Pope through the treacherous shoals of a Catholic church that must cope with terrorism and other, new threats to democracy and religious freedom.

POPSGiving Till It Hurts Changes to IRA regulations on tax-free donations and the recent boom in stock and real estate prices are increasing the ranks of so-called stretch givers.

As well as the convictions of of those directly involved 95 low-level officials have been punished for dereliction of duty in supervising the kilns. What is surprising is that no higher level officials were disciplined given that it would be unlikely slave labor could be operating on such a scale without collusion at the municipal or provincial level.
