...always, the Vatican is a hot campaign issue; this time, Pope John has made it hotter than usual by meeting Aleksei Adzhubei, Nikita Khrushchev's son-in-law, last month, and otherwise establishing friendlier relations with the Kremlin.

"I don't know which foot to dance on," said Souvanna plaintively. "I wish I was on the seashore in France with my family...
