...INDIRA GANDHI. I'm prepared to visit not only Peking and Moscow but Washington as well. If she invites me to New Delhi beforehand, I'm prepared to go there first. I'm not calling her "that woman" [as Bhutto's predecessor Yahya Khan did]. She is the Prime Minister of a neighboring great state. My family has had three generations of contacts with her family.

At the Rome synod, Krol was the only bishop from North America elected to serve on the council that will prepare the next synod...
