...candid volume of confessions called Dialogues with Christ, recently j published in Paris, Lemercier tells of the I Cuernavaca experiment. A Belgian, I Lemercier went to Mexico in 1944, intending to found a monastery with two other men. Both his companions quit, disillusioned with monastic life; in 1949, one of them came back at the head of a gang of pistoleros to destroy the monastery-although neither Lemercier nor the few monks who had joined him there were harmed...
...pontifical commission in 1963 to revise the code. Pope Paul augmented the Commission, which now includes 61 cardinals and 88 consultors-nearly one-fourth of them Italians.

She will pick a spot for a medical foundation to be built with funds raised by U.S. donations-in memory of Dr. Paul...
...Wind. And that just counts the North American take. Overseas, Heston is an even bigger favorite. He is also taken seriously as an actor. Despite the critics' First Commandment-thou shalt not worship a graven performance-Heston's stony acting has won him a German Bambi, three Belgian Uilenspiegels, and a U.S. Oscar...
