...Some 20 victims met their fate-burial alive-at the end of a death march from the Redemptorist Church, where they had sought refuge, to Ap Lang Xa Con more than two miles away. Among them was Tran Dien, one of Hue's five Senators in the National Assembly in Saigon...
This past winter, at their monastery near St. Louis, the Roman Catholic Redemptorist Fathers put into operation an electronic data-processing service de signed to provide "a 71-facet view of each practicing Catholic." Pastors who want to make use of the service must distribute a questionnaire to their faithful, then wait for the Redemptorists to feed the answers into an IBM System 360 computer.

The final draft tries to avoid any uncertain declaration, and thus leaves room for further research and dialogue...
...most startling exhibit was put up by the Redemptorist Fathers: a stuffed anaconda from the jungles of Brazil, where the congregation operates missions. "It's a great crowd-stopper," explained Father John Morton, who takes the 20-ft. serpent with him on his cross-country pursuits of vocations. "Everybody has a gimmick. This is mine...
