...nation and world, some men, at least, pause to consider whether society can justify taking lives under the law. If so. for what purpose? Vengeance? To deter further crime? Some time during its current term, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether the death penalty is constitutional (TIME Essay, Jan. 24).

When President Joseph Mobutu announced a "return to Zaïre authenticity" last month and changed his name to one with a more African sound, Mobutu-Sese-Seko (TIME, Jan. 24), many of Zaïre's citizens loyally followed suit. But then came a word of caution to the nation's 8,000,000 Roman Catholics from Joseph Cardinal Malula. 54, Archbishop of Kinshasa and one of Africa's three black cardinals.
