The Pope puts on his rockin' shoes



This tidbit from the Mar. 9 _Economist_
(http://www.economist.com/issue/09-03-96/br6.html):

The Vatican ordered a hundred pairs of "Doc Martens" boots from their
makers, R. Griggs of Northampton, including a pair for the pope--in white,
to match his vestments.

(Thanks to Polly Esther at www.suck.com (check out their Web site) for help
with the research.)
