Media empire Going to church	A walk around the plaza out front of the Cathedral, down one of the side streets, and then back for a look inside. Very early morning, a beggar takes the place she's been assigned (and paid for) outside the Cathedral. Later, she's ordered to block the door partially, making it more difficult for passersby to ignore her plight and pleading.
