What was up in the Kremlin? Into Moscow last week flew Hungary's Party Secretary Janos Kadar and Premier Gyula Kallai. Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka and Jozef Cyrankiewicz, already in town, suddenly decided to prolong their visit, and Czech President Antonin Novotny was due to arrive early this week.

Churches are empty and in poor repair; most of the dioceses are without bishops; priests are still arrested for anti-regime activities. But even here the church's prospects are improving. President Antonin Novotny is eager to touch up the Czech image in the West, and his government was clearly embarrassed when the Pope bestowed a red hat on Prague's Archbishop Josef Beran, now under house arrest.
