Two weeks ago, the last of 513 Chinese military advisers and technicians departed from Albania, leaving behind 51 uncompleted aid projects, a deserted Chinese restaurant and the shambles of Chinese-Albanian friendship, which Chairman Mao described only two years ago as "inexhaustible and truly invincible." The origins of the quarrel lie in Albania's hostility to China's policy of rapprochement with the U.S. and the Third World and to Peking's warming relations with Albania...

Even at the age of twelve, she remembers, she wanted to be a missionary, "to go out and give the love of Christ." The desire grew when some local Jesuits, freshly sent to India, wrote enthusiastic letters home about their work in the Bengal missions. By the time she was 18, Agnes had joined the Irish branch of Loreto nuns who were working in Calcutta. In 1937 she made her final vows...
