Since the Communist takeover of Eastern Europe after World War II, the Vatican has sought - largely in vain - to anchor the rights of Roman Catholics in Iron Curtain countries through protocol and concordat. Only lately has the realization seeped in that written agreements with Communist countries are the start, not the finish, of diplomacy - and that painful compromises are part of a tough bargain. Four years ago, the Holy See announced an elaborate formal agreement with Hungary that was supposed to mark the beginning of toleration for the country's 7,000,000 Catholics.

The resourceful Cook saved his vessel by heaving ballast overboard, along with six heavy cast-iron cannon; the Endeavour floated free on the high tides. In the years since, numerous searchers have tried to recover the cannon. Finally last week, a team from Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences, using a magnetic device suspended from a helicopter, succeeded in locating the coral-encrusted guns...
Splurge. The agreement came in "letters of intent" from the Japan Iron & Steel Exporters' Association and the six-nation European Coal and Steel Community. In addition, Secretary of State Dean Rusk said that other leading steel producers, presumably Britain and Canada, are expected to hold down their exports. As a result, Rusk added, U.S. steel imports-which soared to 17.5 million tons in 1968-will be limited to 14 million tons this year, 14.7 million in 1970 and 15.4 million...
