Pope recovering in hospital
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"You usually need multiple antibiotics programs," he said. "The big danger is that if you are having trouble getting air into you, you can just tire out and you just can't keep up with it."
Pneumonia remained a potentially deadly threat, but the Holy See insisted there was "no cause for alarm." Roman Catholics from Poland to the Philippines prayed for his recovery.
In St. Peter's Square, in John Paul's native Poland and in many of the 129 countries the pope has visited over a 26-year papacy, the faithful paused to pray for the spiritual leader of the world's 1 billion Catholics.
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II's doctors were on guard for complications yesterday, a day after the frail, 84-year-old pontiff was hospitalized with the flu and breathing trouble.
American experts said a case like the pontiff could lead to life-threatening pneumonia. "That's the complication of influenza that most frequently, by far, carries people off," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases expert at Vanderbilt University.
The pope will be hospitalized for a few more days to afford "many means to stay ready for any complications," said Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, head of the Vatican's health care office
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Americans' "thoughts and prayers are with the Holy Father," and in Rome, chief rabbi Riccarco Di Segni offered prayers for a quick recovery.
Tests showed the pope's heart and respiration were normal, and he felt well enough to participate from his bed in a Mass celebrated by his secretary, said papal spokesman Joquin Navarro-Valls.
Pneumonia is "often very difficult to treat because you have introduced bacteria that don't belong in the lungs," said Dr. Michael Freedman, head of geriatrics at New York University Medical Center.

The zoning boundaries between the city and the University are to be enforced July 1. Jason Boots, Student Senate community affairs director, asked the commission to extend this date to Aug. 15.
This would maintain previous agreements with the University.

"I think it's important to keep that goodwill between the city and the University." Boots said.
The July 1 date was set because city officials expected to pass the ordinance more than a month ago.
