...extraordinary and possibly outrageous that the President and Vice President are the only two elected officials in the U.S. who are not chosen by direct popular ballot. Yet no matter how acute the need for reform, the prospects are discouraging.

During the council, Paul frequently relied upon the advice of such progressive non-Italian prelates as Leo-Joseph Cardinal Suenens of Belgium, Julius Cardinal Döpfner of Munich, Franziskus Cardinal König of Vienna.

Your reporter writes that I suggested that parietals should be eliminated. I am not, and never have been, in favor of removing all restrictions. My proposal is to replace the present system of specifying the hours during which women guests may visit students in the Houses by the following rule: "The rooms in the Yard and the Houses are provided to accommodate the students to whom they are assigned.
