...Paulist Society for Christian lay men, included such topnotch theologians as Jesuit Karl Rahner and Herbert Vorgrimler of Freiburg as well as three observers from a new Vatican secretariat for nonbelievers, which is headed by Franziskus Cardinal Konig of Vienna. The major Communist speakers were French Party Theoretician Roger Garaudy and one of Bulgaria's ranking ideologues, Asari Polikarov...
...exotic mixture of personalities. On the dais waiting to deliver their addresses, Protestant Theologian Paul Tillich sat with that outrider of neutralism, Nobel-prize-winning Chemist Linus Pauling. At another panel, Kremlinologist George Kennan, onetime Ambassador to Russia and Yugoslavia, clashed with Dr. Adam Schaff, the leading Marxist theoretician of Poland...
Hungary has produced perhaps the most interesting sign of change.

Suslov declared that the "antiparty" trio subscribed to the selfsame heresies as Mao. He singled out Molotov-who had variously been Soviet Premier (in 1930) and first editor of Pravda (1912)-for particular vituperation. Harking back to the murderous Soviet purges of the 1930s, Suslov accused Molotov of attempting to surpass Stalin...
