Influence & Pressure. The major top ic of the conference was the touchiest issue that now faces Orthodoxy: how to initiate and carry on the theological dialogue with Rome that Athenagoras and Pope Paul VI agreed to when they met in Jerusalem last January.

Recognition of the Dominican Republic will enable the U.S. to keep a closer eye on a potentially dangerous Castroite guerrilla flare-up there. The soldiers running the two countries made only distant...
