MARKINGS, by Dag Hammarskjold. Almost as if it were some kind of Security Council document, the late U.N. Secretary General described this strange and moving journal as "a white paper concerning my negotiations with God." Hardly that formal, the book portrays in aphorisms, essays, and even haikus Hammarskjold's mystical efforts to resolve agonizing religious doubts...
...from Premier lagan's U.S.-born wife Janet, a U.S. State Department protest, and an announcement that the mounted cops who had ignored Garcia's pleas for help had been suspended. The final flourish was the arrival of a delegation of East Indian women who brought a document of thanks and a pair of gold cuff links, then placed a garland of pink oleander and purple madaar flowers on the correspondent's stitched-up head...

Last week the bishops of the Second Vatican Council began discussion of a document that goes a long way toward making that accommodation. For Catholics, Schema 13, entitled The Church in the Modern World, is the most personally important item of all on the council's agenda. Sometimes with platitudes, sometimes with passion, the schema bravely touches on every social issue that troubles the hearts of men, from overpopulation to nuclear war, and summons...
