What were the official visitors learn ing? Skeptics suggested that junior officers would hardly furnish them with anything but a rosy view so long as the boss-General Harkins-was hovering within earshot.

Speaking to groups of the more than 100,000 pilgrims gathered to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, the cardinal cited a government ban on organized pilgrimages and pro tested against roadblocks where some pilgrims had been harassed during the trip to the shrine, enduring their own "Way of the Cross."
