More than any other economic factor, the desire to keep control of Union Minière and related properties prompted Belgium's tacit backing of the Katanga secession under Moise Tshombe, which was eventually crushed by the U.N.

Ecumenism - until recently the private dream of theologians and the occasional public practice of rank ing clergymen - has become a spirit-changing factor in the church life of every U.S. community.
