But Neumann's quiet spiritual stamina appealed to Francis Kenrick, who had left Philadelphia to become Archbishop of Baltimore. When Neumann heard that Kenrick was recommending him as his successor in Philadelphia, he beseeched nuns to pray against such an appointment, which he considered "a grave calamity for the church...

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...
