Subject: Anecdote about Angelo (Pope John XXIII) Roncalli

   A nuncio, where they exist, has the rank of an ambassador.
   While in Paris, Roncalli once said: "You know, it's rough being
   a papal nuncio. I get invited to these diplomatic parties where
   everyone stands around with a small plate of canapes trying not
   to look bored. Then, in walks a shapely woman in a low-cut,
   revealing gown, and everyone in the whole place turns around
   and looks -- AT ME!"
