...theme of the leader in history. The book contains 14 of the interviews Fallaci bagged between 1969 and 1974; on exhibit, in embarrassing nakedness, are the powerful from Henry Kissinger to Alexandros Panagoulis, a dialectical progression that includes Golda Meir and Yasir Arafat, Indira Gandhi and Ali Bhutto, Dom Helder Camera and Archbishop Makarios...
Perhaps the most widely revered political saint today is Brazil's Dom Helder Pessoa Càmara, Archbishop of Olinda and Recife (TIME, June 24, 1974) and partisan of the poor. No better testimony for Dom Helder exists than the witness of those who have suffered in his behalf. Former Methodist Missionary Fred Morris, who last year was tortured by Brazilian authorities at least partly because of his friendship with Dom Helder, puts it simply. "Being with him, watching him, listening to him, one is less and less aware of him and increasingly aware of the reality to which...
Finally, the real reason for their interest in me emerged: my inquisitors began asking endless questions about Roman Catholic Archbishop Helder Camara, a vocal critic of the regime and a friend of mine. They were furious about stories that I had filed to TIME and the Associated Press that they considered favorable to the Recife archbishop and unflattering to the dictatorship.

Twice during the afternoon they tortured me in front of Luis...
...administered through electrodes attached to various parts of his body. Reports of torture in Brazil's military jails have circulated for a decade, but Morris is the first American newsman to experience it firsthand.

Morris was held on vague -and false-charges of "subversive activities" for the Central Intelligence Agency. Despite a formal, forceful protest from U.S. Ambassador John Crinimins, he was still in prison late last week. Halfway round the world in Saigon...
Five of the eleven are Roman Catholics. Among them are Dom Helder Comoro of Brazil (TIME, June 24), the activist, junta-baiting archbishop whose "cry is justice"; Jesuit Philosopher Bernard Lonergan of Canada, a "notoriously difficult thinker" whose work seeks to join theology and the social sciences; and Father Andrew Greeley, a Chicago sociologist whose insights have provided "a better understanding of today's religious crisis." Swiss-born Theologian Hans Küng of West Germany's Tübingen University was described as "devotedly Roman Catholic" although he has a deserved reputation as a radical...
