We heard cecilia talkbout the crowds. You were saying to me, it was a different feeling you had out there today. I think that what you see is, once the conclave has begun, there's a change in the air. There's a change in the tone surrounding the vatican. Taking this seriously, knowing this matters? You could say that the opening of the conclave , with the music and the hymns and the pageantry of it, the prayer, casts a spell, almost, on the city. And the people in the square this evening, waiting for the smoke, I think, you get a sense that they were participating in this momentous decision. Right back there in the dormitory, 115 cardinals are having dinner, we're told it's pasta with tomato sauce, what a surprise in rome . But what do they know from today for sure? How does it change their approach to the morning? What you have is  favor of. It's american. They have money and tourists who come to rome to take the cabs. So the cab drivers are rooting for cardinal o'malley or cardinal dolan. Okay, thanks so much. Thanks, take care. And we also want to tell you tonight about a sign of modern times.
