Tabouis's influence is not confined to France: her observations are syndicated abroad, are taken more seriously in England and the U. S. than they are at home. Last year a London Catholic journal, The Tablet, called her "one of the gravest of contemporary international dangers." Said The Tablet: "There is no era of history and no country of the world upon which she is not incompetent to write. . . .

...Mont Blanc (15,781 ft.), so named to commemorate the feat of Achille Ratti and a fellow priest, Monsignor Luigi Grasselli, two of the most adventurous mountain climbers in Italian history, who first blazed the trail in 1890. Another monument to the Pope's Alpine enthusiasm: a stone tablet in a little church at Macugnaga, at the foot of Monte Rosa, celebrating the first conquest of its highest peak (15,217 ft.) from the Italian side-most daring of the 200 Alpine ascents made during his lifetime...
