...always, the Vatican is a hot campaign issue; this time, Pope John has made it hotter than usual by meeting Aleksei Adzhubei, Nikita Khrushchev's son-in-law, last month, and otherwise establishing friendlier relations with the Kremlin. Fortnight ago, the Communist newspaper L'Unita exaggerated Pope John's recent Pacem in Terris encyclical as "an appeal for peace based on nuclear disarmament." This prompted a pro-government newspaper to crack that the Reds were suddenly "more papist than the Pope." In fact, the Vatican is quietly backing Fanfani's Christian Democratic-Socialist partnership, though publicly...
...words from the Red world were equally warm. Moscow's Izvestia, whose Editor Aleksei Adzhubei visited Pope John in March, made it clear that the encyclical met with favor in the Kremlin. Without waiting for guidance from Moscow, leaders of Communist parties in Italy, Belgium and France hailed the peace-loving tone of Pacem in Terris; Paris' L'Humanité called it a major step toward unity of action for peace, and Poland's Zycie Warszawy heralded it as an encyclical of "peaceful coexistence."

The Pope was John XXIII, an intuitive man more concerned with the fate of Catholics back of the Iron Curtain than with scoring political points. The Communist was Izvestia's Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, who can carry a message directly and informally to Khrushchev because he is married to Khrushchev's daughter...
Rude Silence. Also giving the soft line a hard sell was one of Khrushchev's oldest cronies. First Deputy Premier Aleksei Kosygin, who hailed "concessions made by both sides to peace and sanity" in Moscow's missile misadventure in the Caribbean. Regarding Berlin, Kosygin omitted the usual Communist demand that Western troops quit the city and did not refer, even vaguely, to a deadline for a separate Soviet peace treaty with East Germany. Next day, Defense Chief Rodion Malinovsky reduced his professional rocket-rattling to below last year's noise level, reviewed an eight-minute march-past...
