Unwitting Help. Criticism of the trip started with Sydney's Anglican Archbishop Marcus Loane, who announced in October that he would not attend an ecumenical service with the Pope; Loane cited such doctrinal differences as papal infallibility to explain his refusal. A columnist in Turin's La Stampa criticized the Dacca stop, arguing that the papal visit would pull needed men and equipment off relief operations. A Catholic monthly in Colombo asked whether papal visits "help clarify fundamental issues or mystify them," pointing out that the Pontiff could give equally impassioned speeches in "racist Portugal" and in "underdeveloped...
...routine within is briskly efficient. Pope Paul VI rises at 6:30 a.m., bathes, is shaved by his valet and says an early Mass. At breakfast (caffè latte, rolls, fruit), the conversation revolves around the morning news while the Pope glances at newspapers: Le Monde, La Stampa, and Corriere della Sera. At 8:30, in the garden under a centuries-old oak tree, Paul receives a worldwide news briefing that often focuses on church matters: excerpts from a German paper's comments on Vatican finances, for example, or the story in Figaro on a liberal theological congress...

It far outsells the Communist daily L'Unita among Turin's workers. Like Agnelli, the paper is undogmatic, progressive and slightly left-of-center on most issues...
...remarks, while by far the most significantly defiant to date, were not the most scathing. That honor was left to Helen Vlachos, 55, the acid-tongued Athens publisher who closed down her two newspapers to protest the junta-imposed censorship. In an interview with the Italian daily La Stampa, she was asked whether she was afraid of the consequences of her defiance. Replied Helen: "I'm more afraid of the dentist than I am of Colonel Papadopoulos." She then called the members of the ruling junta "simple people, a bit ignorant.
