Shock for a Concierge. Pale, black-mustached, his silver hair dyed black, blue-suited Salan, 62, looked like a typical Paris businessman, which he claimed to be.

After the meeting, Pope John presented Dr. Craig and his delegation with books and medals, and in return was given a silver bookmark and a stone from Lake Tiberius in the Holy Land.
