Francisco France is trying very hard to work his country into the brand-new North Atlantic alliance. This is not particularly surprising, for Spain, which so far has received no ERP help, is in worse economic shape than any country in Europe. Franco must receive U. S. aid if his government is to survive; he needs an estimated $700,000,000 to keep the Spanish economy from going bust. His industry is near-bankrupt, railway system wrecked, food-production cut to a starvation level. Thirty-one percent of the total national revenue supports his armed forces...
Some see a special significance in the fact that the U.S., where religion has most strikingly expressed itself in the activist tradition (i.e., hospitals, orphanages and other forms of good works), has taken so well to Merton's inward-looking brand of spirituality.

Paul Furuya, a Japanese Roman Catholic priest, preach to some new converts. The monsignor's brand of religion, he argued, looked like just what Saga needed. The villagers agreed. Farmer Takahashi and ex-Mayor Hitoshi Kataoka were commissioned to invite the Catholics to town...
Coward's Conversion. In a chapter headed "Shame and Wounded Snobbery," jesting G.B.S. turns dead-solemn and hands out a brand-new episode from his life-a "snob-tragedy" which profoundly influenced him although it caused him such anguish that he was never able to confess it even to his wife...
