...students at the Jesuit-run University of Detroit, Father Lawrence Cross, 47, has long been something of a campus favorite. A softspoken, scholarly, almost humorless teacher, he was head of the university's sociology department and an active member of several civil rights organizations, including the N.A.A.C.P. and an interracial council that fought blockbusting real estate agents.

...Apologies. A native of East Prussia (now part of Poland) and a wartime student in a Berlin Jesuit Gymnasium, Barzel soon impressed his fellow Ministers with his command of his portfolio. He broadcast regularly to East Germany and negotiated the first ransom arrangements for East German prisoners. Much of his interest in reunification dates from that time, but his proposals last week served a more immediate purpose as well.

Other Catholic experts charge that Friedlander has failed to consider the self-serving motives of the German diplomats whose reports are so crucial to his thesis. Von Bergen, for example, was an ambitious professional diplomat who hoped for promotion in Germany's foreign service. Von Weizsacker was an anti-Nazi Protestant who apparently wished to prevent Hitler from taking any action that would harm Pius personally...
