But Neumann's quiet spiritual stamina appealed to Francis Kenrick, who had left Philadelphia to become Archbishop of Baltimore.

When Frost responded that "Allende looks like a saint" compared with his U.S.-supported successor General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, Nixon pointed at Frost and replied, "The right-wing dictatorship, if it is not exporting its revolution, if it is not interfering with its neighbors ... is of no security concern to us. It is of a human rights concern. A left-wing dictatorship, on the other...
