...draw awed reactions such as "magnificent." The gay ceramic figures created by Pravoslav and Jindriska Rada for the roof garden of the Czech pavilion are favored companions for souvenir snapshots.

Not until Pius XII's 1943 encyclical, Divino Afflante Spiritu, were Catholic Biblicists able to study Scripture...
...change Kiesinger's mind on the critical issues, he did move the German Chancellor to exclaim: "Whether you agree with him or not, what a man!" Next week Canada will be exposed to the treatment. On a five-day visit, the general will float grandly up the Saint Lawrence River on the French cruiser Colbert, motor from Quebec to Montreal, greeting thousands of French Canadians along the way, then look over Expo 67. Only afterward, despite the Canadian governments entreaties, will he condescend to touch down at the English-speaking capital of Ottawa...
