"The Western European countries, which cannot afford to do otherwise . . . where the production of coal can't keep up with the needs of power stations." Out of foresight and necessity, Western Europe is putting its revived industrial brawn behind its scientific brains...

They changed to a Canton-bound train, and vanished behind the Bamboo Curtain...
Rome's Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith last week announced the excommunication, three years ago, of Monsignor Li Wei-Kwang, onetime Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Nanking. His offense: "Acting by word and deed against the legitimate authority of the representative of the Supreme Pontiff in China." The excommunication was not published until now, in hopes that the erring priest might mend his ways. Instead, according to Osservatore Romano, Li has recently become "leader and proclaimer among Christians of movements that have the purpose of dividing Catholics and changing the essence of the only church...
