...these policies did not necessarily add up to a Fascist State, nor to making Laval quite the Little Man that he was pictured by Cartoonist Herblock of the Pittsburgh Press. Friend of France with kind words for harassed Marshal Pétain was Catholic Monsignor Mark Boehm. Writing in Rome for the Vatican City newspaper, Osservatore Romano, Mgr.
