...calculated to please the left; and a "Bad Nixon" speechwriter who would formulate hard-hitting, no-holds-barred vitrioles for the good ol' boys on the right. Although produced with the "editorial assistance" of "Good Nixon" writer Ray Price, The Real War shows Nixon restrained only by his still-fervent desire for acceptance and respectability, fangs barely capped. Ultimately, the book most closely resembles a 327-page Richard Nixon speech. Despite the obvious nostalgia value, this, to many is a truly terrifying thought.

Your church will have to deepen its local African dimension, without ever forgetting its universal dimension. I know your fervent attachment to the Pope. I say also to you: Through him, remain united to the whole church." But wherever he went John Paul also emphasized the limits of Africanization, pointing out that Africa's Catholics are part of the universal church. He praised bishops for their loyalty to the papacy.
