...moves, both toward autonomy and a more vigorous effort to Africanize the church. In Rugaba Cathedral, Tanzania's Laurean Cardinal Rugambwa pledged the symposium's "total solidarity" with Rome (last year, the bishops had praised the Pope's birth control encyclical). Then Paul cut the umbilical cord of four centuries. "You are missionaries to yourselves now," said the Pope. "The Church of Christ is well and truly planted."

For cancer patients with intractable pain of indisputably physical origin, neurosurgeons have devised a number of radical operations. One of the commonest, for pain anywhere below the neck, is cordotomy-literally, cutting the spinal cord-a remedy that is less drastic than it sounds. In the standard operation, the cord is exposed and a small cut is made in the nerve bundles controlling the pain-afflicted area. The so-called cut may actually be a tiny electrical burn. Crue and his colleagues have just reported...
