...private talks with Teng, Administration officials stressed that the U.S. wanted to treat Moscow and Peking evenhandedly. Vice President Mondale told TIME: 'The President made it clear to Vice Premier Teng that we want a warm, but correct, relationship-not one of alliance but of cooperation." Carter urged Teng to look at things from the Soviet perspective. It was pointed out that Moscow claims to be as anxious about the Chinese masses on its eastern frontier as Peking is about the Soviet military buildup...

John Paul, who rose to eminence in Communist Poland, made clear his urgent desire to eliminate priestly activism based upon Marxist dogma. The Pope emphatically rejected liberation theology, without ever using that phrase. Repeatedly emphasizing the value of each person before God, and the need for spiritual freedom, he used the term liberation in a Christianized context.
