...Khrushchev's planners promise 22 million more housing units (a mere beginning to Russia's housing problems, even if successful), 5.6 times more refrigerators, 4.6 times more TV sets by 1962.

Successful Protestant missions, organized and financed by rich congregations in the U.S., have pushed Latin America's Protestant community from a mere 170,000 in 1916 to nearly 5,000,000 today. To halt this trend, CELAM wants more clergymen. Latin America has 35% of the world's Catholics but only 8.7% of its priests.

Furthermore, Soviet prestige is staked on the East German experiment as much as Western prestige is staked on a free Berlin. On the other hand, an Eastern-aligned Germany would be unacceptable to the 50 million West Germans as well as to the other NATO allies...
