...smuggled out in manuscript form without the author's knowledge or consent, and was being eagerly bid for by Western publishers. Banned by the Kremlin, as were the author's two previous novels, the work has long been circulating in Russia by hand-copied samizdat, the underground press. The book is said to form the last part of a trilogy with The First Circle and Cancer Ward. In it, Solzhenitsyn takes Gleb Nerzhin, Circle's hero, from the relative comfort of the prison scientific community to the most terrible of Stalin's concentration camps. The novel...
...swilers; the finished product horrified Canadians instead (although swilers angrily maintain that scenes of seals being skinned alive were staged by the TV men). Another film is being shown around the world by a determined Canadian S.P.C.A. executive named Brian Davies. It has provoked emotional stories in the world press, and something close to an international crusade to halt the hunt.

To demonstrate good faith, moreover, Velasco held his first press conference and made a point of answering questions from U.S. correspondents...
...decision was clearly an embarrassment to the Pope. Obviously, a defection within his own household would make it all the harder for Paul to insist on the importance of priestly celibacy, which he defended against mounting criticism in a 1967 encyclical and has reiterated frequently since. Vatican press officials clamped a tight if belated lid on the story, brusquely denying the rumor that a Roman archbishop might perform the marriage ceremony. But before the week was out, church officials were forced to admit that two years ago, another high-ranking priest, the rector of a Jesuit college in Rome...
