Pope John Paul II left lasting mark through acts and style
AP Religion Writer George W. Cornell notes the pope shaped his legacy in personal acts and manners rather than edicts. He shed royal trappings at inauguration, fostered ecumenical ties with Russian Orthodoxy, spoke in a plain voice, and embraced a warm, open style. He affirmed church state separation and pursued Vatican II reforms while remaining a relatable pastor.

Meat prices to rise as beef and pork output falls
The Agriculture Department reports lower beef output by 3 to 5 percent through mid-1979 and pork production reduced from earlier estimates. Consumers face higher retail red meat prices as supplies tighten, with prices easing this fall but likely rising near year end or in early 1979. Cattle herds have shrunk after years of low prices, delaying price relief for several years. Poultry production could temper the rise in beef and pork prices.
