...mission on his mind, just as he did in visiting Mexico. There the Pope laid out a clear but complex policy for social action in Latin America and, by extension, for his worldwide church of 700 million. In Poland, the contest between Christ and Marx is far more explicit than in Latin America. Every papal gesture, every deft historical reference had political connotations in this setting. The week saw the first great public outpouring of religious and nationalistic fervor permitted since the Communists took command of Eastern Europe.

Before leaving Czestochowa, the Pope demonstrated how completely Poles look to the church rather than to the party for leadership. The regime had balked at John Paul's plan to visit the miners in the industrial heartland of Silesia, presumably because it would have been too explicit an embarrassment to have even the workers eating out of his hand.

If you don't want to follow the Islamic path, go back to where you came...
...assembly will request the review--an explicit challenge to CUE and CHUL--next year, and administrators have already indicated they favor the idea. Dean Rosovsky told CHUL members at that committee's last meeting that "things could be better" and he favors "some sort of review." Pfeffer says she is sure there will be a review and that it will be "useful to students."
