Before getting ready to return to Poland and his own precarious balancing act with the Reds, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski last week formally accepted his titular Roman church (a parish in Rome is traditionally allocated to every cardinal). The squalid neighborhood surrounding the medieval Santa Maria in Trastevere is heavily Communist, but it turned out to give him Rome's biggest welcome to any cardinal within memory. From the altar Wyszynski asked for the peoples' prayers "for myself and for my poor martyred country. Poland has always been, is still today, and always will be the outer rampart...
...roll up your sleeves and put your 'ands into 'em. A little bit soap, a little bit water, everything's gone and forgotten. For dead babies, inform the police." The plot, such as it is, concerns two wars.

In Berlin, where Americans can walk through the Iron Curtain to the shattered East sector, some of the world's top architects have rebuilt a war-gutted neighborhood in the West sector for the city's International Building Exhibition, which runs from July through September...
...parishes in 1950 v. 4,772 in 1903. One reason is the appalling poverty of the average country cure. Dependent upon handouts for food and fuel, he often spends the winters in near-starvation, and it is becoming increasingly common for parish priests to solicit odd jobs in the neighborhood-house-painting, plastering, milking or shoe-repairing-to supplement the meager dole of the church. U.S. Catholic parishes are accustomed to supporting their priests, but the French, whose government paid the priesthood until 1905, have been conditioned to thinking of this as the responsibility of the state and keeping their...
