...promised her she could have ten sexually diverse husbands and rule the world with Satan. After months of piecemeal punishment, Bernadette's Calvary finally came on May 14, 1966. During a four-hour exorcism session, interrupted only for rest and prayer, the couple and four other men beat and tormented the girl with walking sticks, a riding crop and a rubber truncheon. She was made to eat her own excrement, then sent out on all fours to wash her clothes. Finally Stocker asked her whether she repented. After she mumbled a final yes, he left her alone, and alone...
Peking's pantheon of "martyrs for the people" includes such mighty Maoists as Men Ho, who threw himself atop an exploding rocket; Ouyang Hai, dematerialized while shoving an ammunition cart out of the way of a train; and Liuying, trampled to death saving a group of children from stampeding horses.

They are the California citizens who will ponder the fate of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, who is accused of assassinating Senator Robert Kennedy...
...contrast between the two men goes considerably beyond personality. In his 18 years as secretary-general, Visser 't Hooft was interested more in theological questions than day-to-day administration. Blake, the former Stated Clerk of the United Presbyterian Church, sees his duties as primarily pastoral. To give young church dissidents a greater sense of participation in council affairs, he recently invited 75 staff members to a two-day get-together near Montreux. Told they could speak their minds freely, they proceeded to tear apart everything from the way the council organizes its assemblies to the management...
