...clearly established the point that her husband is determined to make the encouragement of human rights a key part of his foreign policy despite the danger of exacerbating relations with some countries. In Recife, Brazil, Rosalynn met with two American missionaries-the Rev. Lawrence Rosebaugh, 42, a Roman Catholic priest, and Thomas Tapuano, 24, a Mennonite worker-who had been jailed on trumped-up charges and mistreated for four days.

...foot soldier stationed in Manchuria when he died in battle against the invading Russians in the final week of World War II. Late last month his aging parents and a small group of mourners filed through the rain into a peaceful Buddhist temple outside Osaka.

Brother Ignatius Jones, FMS, is a case in point.
