...rather that you support undertakings in education, that you seek to organize yourselves under the Christian banner and to modernize your agriculture." On the final day of his visit, Paul inaugurated the annual meeting of Latin American Catholic bishops by defending his encyclical prohibiting Catholics from practicing artificial birth control...
...contributions to Columbia. After taking over from Dwight Eisenhower, he created six institutes in which scholars from many fields studied selected regions of the world, built up a science faculty that won four Nobel Prizes, set top scholars to work on studies of vital contemporary problems ranging from birth control to computer science to urban planning. A more effective fund raiser than administrator, he attracted enough money to complete $70 million worth of new buildings and push the annual operating budget from $22 million to $136 million.

By owners' estimates, some 12,000 buildings containing 350,000 apartments have thus been...
