Wholesale prices surge 1.4 percent in September
The Labor Department reports the largest monthly wholesale rise in five years, driven by higher fuel costs and beef and veal prices. The 1.4 percent jump in the Producer Price Index signals more inflation ahead as consumer prices already sit about 12 percent higher year over year. Intermediate and crude goods also rose, foreshadowing further increases at the finished goods level.

Pope stands firm against women priests in U S tour
Pope John Paul II rejected liberal calls to admit women to the priesthood and asserted priesthood is a gift from God that cannot be denied. He spoke to 24 000 at Philadelphia Civic Center urging celibacy and stressing that the church's view on women's ordination is not about rights but doctrine. Demonstrators outside opposed the stance as the pontiff reinforced his message during a U.S. visit highlighting unity in Christ across diverse cultures.
