Having indulged in these flourishes, LÓpez Portillo turned milder at a concluding press conference. The Mexican leader, who is actually relatively conservative, admitted that "the cause of the problem is our own," and added that he was "deeply satisfied with the results of this meeting." It was hard to believe Jimmy Carter could...
...John Paul II, in his opening speech at the conference, had denounced social injustice but also warned the bishops not to politicize the church, and to eschew violent reform−a delicate balance that discouraged many progressives by its ambiguity.

...Brown ran the ad, deciding, as Brown Daily Herald Editor in Chief Robert Linn explained, "to let people make up their own minds."

But a year later, says Grumbach, when it looked as if a Socialist-Communist coalition might come to power (it did not), Goldsmith began shopping for an editor more sympathetic to the left. Grumbach was kicked upstairs into an executive job sans power, secretary...
