...Western world are deeply indebted to you for your dramatic account [May 20] of Cardinal Wyszynski. It tells beautifully, in vivid realism, the story of a noble primate who is an astute statesman and diplomat as well as a great religious leader. I speak as a Protestant, in deep sympathy with the cardinal's patriotic service to his country and to all mankind as well...

As the first Japanese Prime Minister since the war to visit Southeast Asia, he himself had to be wary that some of these nations, e.g., Burma and Thailand, might have all too vivid memories of the "understanding" shown by their last Japanese visitors, who came in uniform.

"Our continuous effort to keep ourselves balanced upright on our legs affects every judgment on design. The disposition of areas in the torso is related to our most vivid experiences, so that abstract shapes, the square and the circle, seem to us male and female, and that the old endeavor of magical mathematics to square the circle is like the symbol of physical union...
