Submerged in Documents. Although he knew that it would be criticized, Pope Paul was clearly unprepared for the gale of protest aroused by the encyclical. In a mid-week audience at Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence, Paul told an audience of pilgrims something of the personal agony that had accompanied his decision. "Never before," he said, "have we felt the load of our duty. We have studied, read, discussed as much as we could. And we have also prayed a lot. How many times have we had the impression of being almost submerged by this heap of documents? How many...
There were some reappraisals abroad when the news came that Kennedy's suspected killer was less a product of U.S. society than of the festering hatred of the Middle East.

...night the gleaming oceangoing ferry Wahine battled gale-force winds and violent seas on its regular run between South and North islands in New Zealand. As it entered Wellington Harbor, only a mile from its destination, the two-year-old ship was blown onto a reef. Water gushed through a hole in the hull. Then, after the Wahine floated free, it suddenly lurched over on its side into the water. Panic seized the 676 passengers and crewmen...
