...Soviet governments in time of crisis. Now, at the cable circuit's terminus in the Pentagon, lines of Cyrillic type sent from Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin began clattering in at 66 words a minute on a teletype machine supplied by Moscow (which has a U.S. machine with Roman characters at its own end). From the Pentagon, the machine maintains continuous communication with the President, wherever he may be. A Russian translator on stand-by duty for such an event was rushed to the White House. Concerned, the President hurried to a mahogany conference table in the basement Situation Room...
Since organizing the Roman Catholic parish of St. Paul the Apostle in Richardson, Texas, eleven years ago, a team of four Paulist priests has created ecumenical good will in an area of traditional Catholic-Protestant coolness. The priests fostered a ministerial alliance in Richardson that even included Southern Baptists and Nazarenes, helped set up interdenominational Thanksgiving and Good Friday services. Last year one member of the quartet, the Rev. Joseph W. Drew, 34, became the first Catholic ever elected president of the Dallas Pastors' Association, most of whose members are Protestant. Father Drew recently became the first Catholic...

The fourth new U.S. cardinal, Pennsylvania-born Francis J. Brennan, 73, has for eight years been dean of the Sacred Roman Rota, the church's highest tribunal on marriage matters...
Some Catholic enthusiasts for renewal were disturbed by the large number of conservative curialists who were named princes of the church. As it happens, expert Vaticanologists interpreted their elevation as a slight step toward modernizing and liberalizing the Roman bureaucracy. By tradition, one cardinal does not serve under another; several of the new prelates are seconds-in-command to venerable conservatives who presumably will now be induced to retire. Both Angelo Dell'Acqua and Antonio Samoré, the two Vatican under secretaries of state, are considerably more open to church renewal than their superior, Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, 84. France...
