...ballot or the bullet, a true independence will come to Namibia. South African intransigence can only be a holding action that will draw forth greatly increased military support for SWAPO from the front-line African states, the Cubans and the Soviets. SWAPO has already committed itself to a socialist path of development for Namibia, with national ownership of the resource-exploiting industries.

Luciani was born, on Oct. 17, 1912, into the working class. In his home town of Forno di Canale in the Dolomite Alps of northeastern Italy, says the parish priest, "the villagers have been forced to work abroad. [Luciani's] father went to Switzer land to make a living." Even tually, the elder Luciani was able to settle down...
