Royal Style. Small wonder that the church's annual income is estimated at around $55 million. Or that Founder Armstrong zips round the world to visit such leaders as Japan's Prime Minister Eisaku Sato or India's Indira Gandhi in a Grumman Gulfstream jet that gobbles up at least $1.5 million a year. Former W.C.G. members charge that the Armstrongs live like kings while members often live in poverty in order to pay their tithes. They maintain that each of the two Armstrongs has elegant homes in Texas, California and England; that Herbert sports...

But one must distinguish between personal feelings and official views. Whatever my personal feelings to ward Chiang, it does not mean I support independence for Taiwan. But I don't think this is what Chiang...
...SOVIET UNION: Yes he would like to visit Moscow, said Sato, "if I am still fit in body and mind, and if I am still in office." But he expressed doubts about the prospects for the Asian collective-security system that Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev has proposed: "I am afraid it would not be very effective as long as there is such a state of enmity and tension between the U.S.S.R. and China." He stressed that it would be a "great blunder" for Japan to use Sino-Soviet enmity as a "trick to improve our relations with China...
