HJ Heinz Company: The Ketchup People

Walk into any diner in America and you’re likely to see his name on ketchup bottles on pickle jars. Henry J Heinz has been a part of American culture for more than a century. Heinz sold his products on every continent. He coined one of the most memorable lines in the history of advertising “57 varieties”. He was an obsessive genius, yet in an era of domineering bosses and robber barons Heinz motivated his employees with kindness. HJ Heinz was certainly an uncommon man devoted to his religion, his family and his pickles but not necessarily in that order.

Cardinals to take first vote to elect new pope

Roman Catholic cardinals are set to begin the task of electing a new pope, locking themselves away from the world until they choose the man they hope can unite a diverse but divided global church. In a process dating to medieval times, the cardinals will file into the Vatican’s frescoed Sistine Chapel after a public Mass in St Peter’s Basilica and start their secret conclave for a successor to Pope Francis, who died last month. No pope has been elected on the first day of a conclave for centuries, so voting could continue for several days before one of the red-hatted princes of the church receives the necessary two-thirds majority to become the 267th pontiff.
