...Princey arrived in Monte Carlo from India 16 years ago. Prince Rainier kindly made them citizens of tax-free Monaco, and in next to no time they were busy teaching the natives how to play marbles with emeralds the size of tiger's eyes and drink Dom Pérignon from Waterford crystal mugs. But this was poverty to a family that at one time had a fortune of more than $300 million, and stifling to a woman who once flew the Atlantic to telephone India from London because she had difficulty making the call from...
...endless questions about Roman Catholic Archbishop Helder Camara, a vocal critic of the regime and a friend of mine. They were furious about stories that I had filed to TIME and the Associated Press that they considered favorable to the Recife archbishop and unflattering to the dictatorship. They cursed Dom Helder, claiming that he was a liar when he accused the government of condoning torture. Their tirade was accompanied by more shocks and my screams. Twice during the afternoon they tortured me in front of Luis in an effort to get information from him. He refused to give in, though...
...shocks administered through electrodes attached to various parts of his body.

Swiss-born Theologian Hans Küng of West Germany's Tübingen University was described as "devotedly Roman Catholic" although he has a deserved reputation as a radical...
...everyone was cheering. Even as Spinola was announcing Lisbon's new policy, the liner Infante Dom Henrique pulled out of Lourengo Marques with 1,100 tearful whites and their personal possessions. Airlines flying from Mozambique to Portugal were reported booked up until October. Those who have fled, either because they feared the uncertainties of the months ahead or retribution from a new black government, still represent less than 1% of the white population. But to many onlookers, the sailing of the Dom Henrique seemed a historic Portuguese retreat. Observed Joaquim Peres, a white businessman who will stay...
