President Nixon gained no congressional plaudits on issues other than the war when he returned from Midway. Instead, he had to turn at once to Capitol Hill, where a series of smoldering debates were breaking into the open. Democratic liberals were arrayed in opposition to his order of national priorities. Republicans felt leaderless, and the Administration itself had allowed its lines of communication with the Hill to fall into disrepair. Items...
...fissures in the already fragmented Communist world, the Soviets also backed off somewhat from their earlier determination to wrest from the delegates an endorsement of the Russian stand against China and approval of the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia.

From the viewpoint of public interest, the Geneva trip was something of a disappointment. Except for an open-air evening Mass celebrated by the Pope in the Pare de la Grange, where 60,000 people showed up, the crowds were amazingly small. Some Protestant traditionalists showed their displeasure at the visit by holding a prayer vigil at the supposed site of Calvin's grave, and nine Presbyterian ministers picketed World Council headquarters with signs saying "No peace with Rome" shortly before the Pope's arrival.
