...daily against imprudence, rebellion, disobedience and the dangers of heresy. Last week he cautioned Catholics against tampering with "indispensable structures of the church" and partaking in intercommunion services with Protestants. "A spirit of corrosive criticism has become fashionable in certain sectors of Catholic life," he told an audience at Castel Gandolfo last September in a typical peroration. "Some want to go beyond what the solemn assemblies of the church have authorized, envisaging not only reforms but upheavals, which they think they themselves can authorize and which they consider all the more clever the less they are faithful to tradition. Where...
Submerged in Documents. Although he knew that it would be criticized, Pope Paul was clearly unprepared for the gale of protest aroused by the encyclical. In a mid-week audience at Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence, Paul told an audience of pilgrims something of the personal agony that had accompanied his decision.

D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute after removal of a benign, olive-size growth on her jaw; General Earle G. Wheeler, 59, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recovering at Walter Reed Hospital from a "minor" heart attack that was disclosed by the Pentagon after two days of denials that he suffered from...
...that has strayed into the territory of the head-shrinking Jivaro Indians of Peru? Not quite. It's a sweater, and it's the latest style in Paris-not exactly from the showrooms of Courrèges or Balenciaga, but hard to miss on the mesdemoiselles at Castel's discothèque or in Le Drugstore on the Boulevard St. Germain...
