...Frederika of Greece. And on either side of them were: King Baudouin of Belgium in army khaki; Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, splendid in his decorations and chartreuse sash; West Germany's President Heinrich Lübke; Philippines President Diosdado Macapagal; Korea's President-elect General Park Chung Hee. They, along with 213 other world leaders, headed to St. Matthew's Cathedral, eight blocks away...

In Hong Kong, the only free diocese of the captive Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui (Holy Catholic Church in China) is a classic missionary model of how to do much with little. Sprightly Bishop Ronald Owen Hall has only 55 priests and 25,000 members, but his schools educate 50,000 Hong Kong Chinese, and other churches admit that his relief...
