...Pope Paul's first encyclical has been awaited with eager and hopeful expectancy, not only by Roman Catholics but by millions of non-Catholics who have rejoiced at the manifest liberation and revivification of worldwide Roman Catholicism during the "Johannine era." It would serve no useful purpose to mute the fact that the document, released at long last, stirs non-Catholics with dismay and, doubtlessly, "progressive" Catholics with deep if unuttered disappointment. One searches vainly for a single fresh, forward-looking declaration. Even the Pope's offer "to intervene" in the disputes between contending peoples is hardly novel...

German bishops, aware that Catholic references to "perfidious Jews" encouraged Nazi antiSemitism, strongly support the proposal. So do U.S. bishops, who are eager for their church to speak out on matters that concern harmony in a pluralistic society.

Beyond those two, hundreds of agencies this year have gone into politics for pay - and just about every major candidate has engaged some advertising and public-relations...
Considering the danger of a turn for the worse in East-West relations, such long-term credits are a definite gamble. Yet Western businessmen are eager to take the risk to get a firm toe hold in the potentially enormous market in Russia and its European satellites. So far, one of the main attractions has been Nikita Khrushchev's seven-year program to spend $42 billion developing Russia's lagging chemical industry. Even the West German government is under considerable pressure from businessmen to yield to such commercial temptations. Says Berthold Beitz, Krupp's general manager...
