The President and CEO during the 9/11 attack‚ Bernadine Hartley was forced to resign due to mismanagement of response time.

WORLD OF THE TEXT INTRODUCTION Pope John Paul II was a mystic. His poetry reveals to us some glimpse of his mystical personality. He composed poetry when he was a young man and even when he was already a priest.
