Once Sargent invited the editor of Paris' Communist daily L'Humanité to Catacombs 65. Two summers ago, he helped Novelist James Baldwin organize a miniature version of Washington's civil rights march. Currently, the American Church has its own theologian-in-residence-Sydney Ahlstrom of Yale Divinity School-who teaches a weekly course to 80 adults of the congregation. Sargent occasionally appears on French television and at ecumenical conferences involving French Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy. He chain-smokes his way through an 18-hour day filled with the normal routine of pastors everywhere-teaching, counseling...
...whose Editor Aleksei Adzhubei visited Pope John in March, made it clear that the encyclical met with favor in the Kremlin. Without waiting for guidance from Moscow, leaders of Communist parties in Italy, Belgium and France hailed the peace-loving tone of Pacem in Terris; Paris' L'Humanité called it a major step toward unity of action for peace, and Poland's Zycie Warszawy heralded it as an encyclical of "peaceful coexistence." These appraisals shrugged off the letter's strong rejection of totalitarianism, and concentrated on its espousal of those causes-such as the liberation...
...Force captains, the reunion with their families was an unqualified blessing. But even as the flyers left for Kansas at week's end, pundits around the world were already debating the deeper significance of their adventure. DETENTE.

Marx v. Machetes. Roger Riou's father, a chef on the liner Ile de France, was a rabid Communist, his mother also a dedicated Red. So thoroughly did they train their child that Roger was selling the Communist newspaper L'Humanité on sidewalks at the age of nine. At twelve, he was militating in a Communist youth gang, apparently convinced on his own that Communism was the answer to mankind's problems. During the long hours of his stretch in solitary at reform school Roger began to doubt Red doctrine. Later, the sympathetic director...
POWERFUL SURGE OF COMMUNIST PARTY, said the triumphant headline in the French Communist newspaper L'Humanité, and a balloting in the first of two weeks' municipal elections in 38,000 French communities seemed to bear L'Humanité out. In France's 13 largest cities, the Communists polled 27.7% of the vote, regaining the title of France's largest party from the Gaullist Union for the New Republic, which swept last November's elections to the National Assembly. The U.N.R. polled little more than three-quarters of its previous vote...
