"parents should be able to choose." the pope declared. to applause from tens of thousands assembled for Mass in the dust and sweltering heat of an athletic field in the provincial city of Santa Clara. 160 miles east of Havana. The demand for Catholic education was also believed high on John Paul's agenda for his meeting with Castro in Havana's Palace of the Revolution.
The pope and Castro met at sunset and talked privately for about 50 minutes. There was no immediate word on what they discussed. Entering and leaving the meeting, John Paul walked slowly with the help of a cane down a red carpet, with Castro slowing his step to match the pope's pace.

Upon concluding their talks, they exchanged gifts and paused together at the top of broad steps outside the palace, posing for photographers outside. Castro gave the pontiff a 120- year-old leather-bound biography of Father Felix Varela, a 19th-century priest who is considered a founder of Cuban nationalism. "We racked our brains a lot" to come up with something. Castro told John Paul. The book is one of nine copies in existence.
In turn, the pope gave Castro a brightly colored mosaic portrait of Christ. In just two addresses over less than 24 hours, on the first papal visit ever to this Caribbean nation, the pontiff has been blunt in listing what he considers failings along with accomplishments of Cuba's communist system. And in this unprecedented open, high-profile criticism of the 39-yearold revolution, he has found help from a surprising quarter the system itself. The Communist Party newspaper. Granma, published Wednesday's papal arrival speech, including its call for "a climate of freedom" in Cuba.

"He 1 will never, ever kill again," she said. Her husband was Kaczynski's last bombing victim: Timber lobbyist Gilbert Murray was killed in his Sacramento office in April 1995. Kaczynski pleaded guilty to 13.
federal charges covering five bombings, including two deaths in the Sacramento area and one in New Jersey. The plea agreement resolves all federal charges against Kaczynski, who also admitted his role in Unabomber attacks in which he had not been charged. A deal had been discussed for months, but was repeatedly turned down by the government because Kaczynski insisted on certain conditions. At the last minute, his lawyers A senior federal official in dropped all demands. Washington said that a report submitted only days ago by a federal Bureau of Prisons psychiatrist was the decisive factor in Kaczynski's decision to accept a deal.
Dr. Sally Johnson concluded that Kaczynski was competent to stand trial but suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, an illness marked by delusions and a potential for violence. Kaczynski was adamantly against being portrayed in court as a madman. Prosecutors, meanwhile, clearly did not want to be perceived as trying to execute a mentally ill man. As Kaczynski entered his plea, new details of his life as a wanted terrorist were revealed.
In a journal discussing the first fatal attack entry that of Sacramento computer store owner Hugh Scrutton in 1985 Kaczynski wrote: "Excellent. A humane way of eliminating somebody. He probably didn't feel a thing." Noting that a $25,000 reward had been placed on his head after that attack, Kaczynski called it "flattering. The journals also showed that he proudly followed newspaper accounts of his crimes, such as the attack on John Hauser, an aspiring astronaut whose arm was mangled and whose career was forever changed by his injury. "I felt bad having crippled this man's arm," Kaczynski wrote at one point, but at another, he criticized Hauser for participating in the "technological class" Kaczynski reviled..
