...Khomeini under virtual house arrest in 1975. Three years later, as the Shah came under increasing pressure from Islamic fundamentalists operating with Khomeini's backing, Saddam agreed to expel the Ayatullah. It was then that Khomeini moved to France. Today Khomeini refers to Saddam as "the epitome of atheist filth...
Despite all that the Catholic Church did for him, Herrin is now an atheist who has "retired from religion." Interviewed by Meyer after he had spent three years in a medium-security prison, he insists: "I think I've served enough time to compensate."

Though most Poles were at that moment in their own parish churches, the broadcast from Cracow's Wawel Cathedral, the former seat of Archbishop Karol Wojtyla, was a telling concession from the country's atheist government to the changes that have swept the land in the past four months. As if the Mass were not unusual enough, Pope John Paul II-who after his election two years ago was denied his wish to send an uncensored Christmas message to his home archdiocese-was accorded twelve minutes...
