Accompanying President Reagan on his travels are White House Correspondent Laurence Barrett and State Department Correspondent Gregory H. Wierzynski. For Barrett, who interviewed the President this week on his preparations for the summit, it was familiar turf. He had traveled with White House Aide Michael Deaver on a five-day advance scouting trip of the President's itinerary. Also in the summit party to Europe are four TIME photographers. One of them, David Hume Kennerly, last week shot a cover photograph of the President in his private quarters aboard Air Force One. The luxury jet's departure...
...Ronald Reagan was heading for his retreat, Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, Calif., to mix the woodsy labor he loves with cramming for his forthcoming summit meetings in Western Europe. Before he left Washington, the President discussed his trip with TIME White House Correspondent Laurence I. Barrett and Senior Correspondent John F. Stacks.

...Barrett's statistics and conclusions are bound to stir up debate, but they are, without doubt, the best available estimates, combined with impressively detailed rundowns on most of Christianity's 20,000 subgroups. All this establishes the Anglican missionary as the Linnaeus of religious taxonomy. In fact, the book was so eagerly awaited in church circles that ecclesiastics began to visit Barrett's modest, cluttered offices in Nairobi for years before completion to find out how the numbers were running. A few men of God could not resist the temptation to filch advance copies. Now that...
