...meant. In one sense, he appeared to be simply reaffirming the U.S. commitment to the hemisphere's senior defense treaty, the Rio Pact. But it also appears that Ford was declaring what Secretary of State Kissinger had been telling Latin American leaders privately last month on his tour of the Latin nations: that the U.S., with the support of key Latin nations, would move against Cuban military intervention anywhere in the hemisphere. In any event, all putative Administration notions of further normalizing relations with Cuba are now in the deepfreeze...
...tennis. Last week the rowdy Rumanian stopped complaining about linesmen long enough to trounce Ken Rosewall 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 at the Avis Challenge Cup competition in Hawaii-a $10,000 victory that made him the fourth professional to win more than $1 million on the tennis tour (the others: Arthur Ashe, Rod Lover and Rose-wall).

Lutheran Pannenberg, 47, last week ended a 21-campus tour of the U.S., the most ambitious of his three visits to America, with a talk at Harvard on the relation between the doctrine of God's election and "civil religion." In many speeches during the tour Pannenberg attacked recent styles of Christian social activism. He insists that the church should not think of itself as an agent for curing social ills, which are not "immediately solvable" anyhow. He also has no use for those Christian activists who think that "questions of the meaning of human life...
