...Pope did not forget the 65 million Catholics who live under Communism. Among those elevated to the purple were two prelates no longer in command of their sees: Ukrainian Metropolitan Josyf Slipyi, who came to Rome in 1963 after 18 years of Soviet imprisonment, and Czech Primate Josef Beran, who is still under virtual house arrest near Prague. One new East European cardinal who does govern his diocese is Yugoslavia's Primate, Archbishop Franjo Seper of Zagreb.

At Harvard Law School, he ranked seventh in his class, was a law-review editor, and while still a student himself taught U.S. tax law to foreign students...
There was plenty of evidence to prove that pious Soviet denials of anti-Jewish activity are hollow. The most topical was a book called Judaism Without Embellishment, published last year by the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. One cartoon from this "history" of Judaism showed a man with an exaggeratedly hooked nose described as a Zionist leader serving the "Hitlerite" invaders of the Ukraine...
