Citizen of the Year: The Rev. Lawrence Biondi

A portrait of a Renaissance man hangs on the wall in the Rev. Lawrence Biondi's office. A photo of the St. Louis University president is superimposed on the face.

A former administrator gave him the piece several years ago in response to a portrayal in a newspaper story of Biondi as a king. Biondi laughed at the story although he wasn't fond of the royal analogy.

This P-D story ran a few days ago...

Perhaps, this year, Fr. Biondi, as president of a "Catholic" university, will see that the *V-Monologues* play is no longer welcomed on campus.
