...CATHOLIC HOUR (NBC, 1:30-2 p.m.). Part 2 of "The Church and War: the Middle Ages" traces the period from the defense of Rome through the Crusades to the invention of gunpowder...
...mark the Common Market's tenth anniversary, Italian Foreign Minister Amintore Fanfani suggested last month that a summit meeting of the rulers of the Six be held in Rome in April. Last week, to everyone's surprise, France's Charles de Gaulle, usually scornful of such supranationalism, let it be known that he will go to Rome "if a meeting is held."

"We know nothing about the dispute except what we read in the papers," said Monsignor Fausto Vallaine, speaking for the Vatican. At week's end, though, there were rumors that a papal emissary was already in Warsaw to talk about the seminaries. But remembering Gomulka's rude veto of a papal visit during the millennium, few observers thought that the state was about to modify its stand. And no one expected that the rugged old cardinal...
