...Dulles got the word that Red China was extending its Quemoy cease-fire for another fortnight. "This is not a betrayal," Red China's local commanders felt it necessary to assure their troops in a special proclamation. "This is a racial righteousness. We must draw a clear-cut line between the Chinese and the Americans." The crude Communist pitch: to split Chinese Nationalists off from the U.S. But whatever Red China's reasons for cease-fire's extension, the first fact about Quemoy was that Red China, after 44 days of shelling, had failed to subdue...

...Catholics were living in Communist-ruled countries. Again and again, he ringingly condemned Communism as an atheistic and materialistic evil, arch enemy of God and of human rights. In the Communist-ruled countries, Pius XII had to find a harrowing way between the extremes of a tough anti-Communist line that might have destroyed the church through reprisals and a collaborationist line that might have destroyed the church just as surely through spiritual surrender. Poland's Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski and his precarious stand-off with the Red regime has shown that toughness can be combined with shrewd compromise...
