According to the report, three naval officers, who served aboard a nuclear submarine, were arrested last June in Tallin in the Soviet Republic of Estonia. The men-a senior officer named Gavrilov, a lieutenant named Ponomarev and an unidentified officer-drew up a 26-page document advocating radical changes in Soviet policy. They were arrested after a page of the text was discovered on a mimeograph machine in one of the officers' homes...
This week the bishops will vote on a summary of reforms drawn up after days of debates and vigorous lobbying, which drew hundreds of newsmen from all over the world (see THE PRESS, overleaf). The recommendations from nine working committees-in which the prelates were grouped according to their language of preference-were strikingly similar in spirit, and often in details as well.

All editions of the portrait of de Jonghe have the same skeletal composition. His strong body is buttoned into a jacket and surrounded by a cape. He sits leaning on the arm of a straight-backed chair, gloved hands resting in front of him. He carries a large-brimmed hat as though it were part of his head...
