THE SCENE INSIDE THE CONCLAVE Applause erupted when Bergoglio got the required 77 votes, and as he accepted "there wasn't a dry eye in the place," Cardinal Timothy Dolan said. 3. WHAT ELSE BERGOGLIO IS KNOWN FOR He gave a speech last year accusing fellow church officials of hypocrisy for forgetting that Jesus bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes. 4. GAMBLING SCANDAL ENSNARES FLORIDA OFFICAL The lieutenant governor resigns and nearly 60 people are charged; authorities say a veterans charity was used as a front. 5. AT LEAST THE LOVE WILL ENDURE. MAYBE. Venezuela's acting president says Hugo Chavez' body was not properly prepared soon enough to be preserved in perpetuity, so permanent viewing is scratched. 6. SEX ASSAULT VICTIM: MILITARY JUSTICE 'BROKEN' In a stinging rebuke of the military's efforts to curb sexual assault, members of a Senate panel hammer Defense Department officials for making too little progress. 7. RADIATION SIDE-EFFECT WARNING Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later. 8.
