...willingness to open arms talks. The White House is interested in probing possibilities for an eventual summit conference, but only after some areas of agreement are found. As Nixon said last February, "I take a dim view of what some have called 'summitry,' particularly where there are grave differences of opinion between those who are to meet." The differences between the U.S. and Russia remain, and Gromyko's speech did not change them. But the diplomatic door to detente may have been opened a cautious inch...

Dutch Monsignor Jan Dellepoort reported that in every European nation priests felt like "sacred outsiders, estranged from society." Many were undergoing grave crises of conscience over the wisdom or necessity of celibacy.

Lawrence, whose ranch and grave near by have been turned into a literary shrine. Swarms of tourists followed those early migrants, and Taos County now boasts ski resorts, art galleries and countless souvenir shops...
...open-air evening Mass celebrated by the Pope in the Pare de la Grange, where 60,000 people showed up, the crowds were amazingly small. Some Protestant traditionalists showed their displeasure at the visit by holding a prayer vigil at the supposed site of Calvin's grave, and nine Presbyterian ministers picketed World Council headquarters with signs saying "No peace with Rome" shortly before the Pope's arrival. The major threat to the peace of the day-a planned demonstration by Ulster's militant Rev. Ian Paisley-was foiled when Swiss authorities stopped him at the airport...
