...from its full complement of 70. Of the remaining 55, two have long been prevented by political conditions from fulfilling their functions (Cardinals Mindszenty and Stepinac, prisoners of Communism), one-Poland's Cardinal Wyszynski-has been seriously hampered by difficult communications, and another -Peking's Cardinal Tien-by ill health. And in all too many cases the crushing load of responsibility in Rome falls on such old men as 85-year-old Pietro Cardinal Fumasoni Biondi, whose responsibilities Cardinal Stritch was to have shared in running the church's missionary effort throughout the world...
...Japan will almost certainly get its first cardinal in Tokyo's Archbishop Peter Tatsuo Doi. Though his archdiocese is not large (26,586 Catholics in a population of 10 million), Archbishop Tatsuo Doi has a strong claim in the fact that Peking has a cardinal, Thomas Tien, now in exile at Techny, Ill.

Advocate Malesherbes lost his case, his royal client's neck, and his own, but not his place in legal history; Advocate Davis knows his own standing is equally secure...
...Last week Poland's Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski (pronounced Vishinsky) felt the steel of the trap that has already closed upon Hungary's Cardinal Mindszenty, Yugoslavia's Cardinal Stepinac, Czechoslovakia's Archbishop Beran and China's Cardinal Tien. Secret police searched his house all night; then the government "deposed" him as primate of Poland. The Cardinal was "allowed to retire to a monastery," said the Warsaw radio. But he went with accusations of "anti-state activities" hanging over his head-a broad hint that the next step might be a propaganda trial...
