Among those most disturbed by Los Angeles' race riot this summer was Pope Paul VI; the tragedy of Watts moved him to hasten a decision to appoint an American Negro bishop. Last week, on the eve of his historic flight to New York, Pope Paul announced his choice: the Rev. Harold R. Perry, 48, superior of the Southern province of the Society of the Divine Word. Perry's post: auxiliary bishop of New Orleans. Announcing the appointment, New Orleans' Archbishop Philip Hannan-himself raised to that position only three days earlier-said warmly, "We welcome the first...
...Government will be able to act more effectively and more efficiently." Surprise Candidate? A majority of the Senate agreed that it could, sent the bill along to conference to iron out minor differences between it and a similar bill passed by the House. As to whom President Johnson will appoint as his first surrogate for U.S. cities, the obvious choice seemed to be Robert Weaver, whose job as administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency will be eliminated under the new setup. Weaver was President Kennedy's candidate for the post in 1962, and his selection in advance...

"By the autumn of 1963," says Schlesinger, "the President had reluctantly made up his mind to allow Rusk to leave after the 1964 election and to seek a new Secretary of State...
Arrests & Asylum. Kádár presumably got some propaganda mileage out of the Vatican pact, which allowed Pope Paul to appoint six Hungarian bishops of his own choosing. Hungary's leader has given little in return. Though some Hungarian bishops have again been allowed to visit Rome, several hundred priests are still forbidden to officiate at holy services. With one minor exception, religious orders are outlawed. Two bishops are under house arrest in Hejce, and two others are banned from their dioceses. Hungary's most famous symbol of opposition to Communism, Jósef Cardinal Mindszenty...
