This fall the foundation will take its first nominations from colleges and universities. One scholarship will be granted in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and one for a student from Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa or the Pacific Trust Territories.

...Words. In the U.S., Jadot "looks upon the whole country as his parish," a fellow bishop notes. "He has grasped the ethnic culture of Cleveland and the Chicano culture of the Southwest. He understands Guam and the problems of blacks." Jadot's casual style is in itself quite American. A few weeks after his arrival in Washington, a group of priests invited him to dinner; he accepted on condition that he could wear sports clothes.
