Charley Horse. As they deliberated, six foreign ministers of the Warsaw Pact nations-once known as Russia and its satellites-met in the gothic Spiridonovka Palace near the banks of the Moskva River. And what seemed to be on their minds? How to keep Rumania's nationalist-minded government from bolting, for one thing. Some sort of rapprochement with the West, for another. And what to tell Charles de Gaulle next week when he arrives in Moscow to talk about European unity...

...installed last week as coadjutor, chief troubleshooter and heir apparent of Barcelona's archbishop. Though Monsignor González is non-Catalán in a rabidly Catalán diocese, he very quickly won over his first congregation at Barcelona's Gothic Santa Eulalia Cathedral, shunning the tiresome platitudes that his audience was so accustomed to. "I promise you," Monsignor González said with feeling and warmth, "that I will learn Catalán to understand better and to be understood. I will love it-and you." It was a start...

...scene was worthy of Goya. Out of Barcelona's Gothic Santa Eulalia Cathedral marched a procession of 120 angry, black-robed priests bearing a petition that preached against the government. From the other direction charged a crowd of grises-the grey-clad, club-swinging cops who maintain order in Spain. Before the melee was ended, blood flowed from anointed pates.

NBC set the balance straight with a beautifully photographed color documentary that placed the man in the context of his own countryside. The fabulous hills and by now mythical Pedernales River were reduced to their actual proportions, to sere ranch land and meandering stream. Next to them, the President suddenly appeared lifesize, and shucking both his White House mantle and "jes' folks" delivery, he reminisced about his beginnings...

Like some great Gothic cathedral, the draft system continues to grow and complicate itself. All the while, however, its two characterizing features are maintained: inequity and confusion. For an astounding number of years. Congress has politely averted its gaze and allowed the Selective Service System to construct an incredible edifice of unreasonable, bewildering, and unfair rules and sanctions. Congressional apathy continues, but the whole rotten draft structure is finally beginning to heave and high under its own weight. Student groups are staging little Berkeleys: civil rights organizations are protesting; corporate recruiters are voicing perplexity; college deans are wondering aloud; some...
