Morning Brief: September 25
Well there's really nothing else to talk about--the pope is in town, and it's all anyone's talking about. Last night he said prayers at St. Patricks, and in the motorcade along the way, the crowds alongside were enormous. New Yorkers can't seem to get enough of him. Today, he's addressing the UN, visiting a school in East Harlem, and saying mass at Madison Square Garden.
