Cardinal Law is only 72; you don't have 2 voting age cardinals from the same place.

"Cdl. designate Cottier is over 80 years old, so his net impact will be 0."

Re: the one named "in pectore": Some will speculate that it is a Chinese bishop, but my guess is that this fellow is more probably a bishop working underground in either North Korea or Burma. He doesn't even know he's been named a cardinal, and he will never know, since (sadly) John Paul will likely die (and take the secret with him) before the Church can emerge from the catacombs in those nations. But to try to identify him would be pointless: even his elevation to bishop (which he *would* know about) was almost certainly done in secrecy.
