...anti-Catholic. But certain ugly notes recur. Two years ago, the Chicago chapter of the Planned Parenthood Federation sent a mailing to college newspapers that included a cartoon showing a Catholic bishop clutching a gasoline can to his breast as if it were a Bible; he was on his way to torch an abortion clinic. In 1972 the Xerox Corp. published a booklet directed at elementary and high school students called Population Control: Whose Right to Live? The authors, two independent university professors, implied that Pope Paul VI's teachings on birth control sanctioned the starvation of countless numbers...
...like trying to fly a 747 through Washington's Rock Creek Park."

...Xiaoping, 75, whose emergence in 1977 as China's top leader had now made Ye's candor possible. Last week Deng seemed more determined than ever to undo the damage of Mao's fiercely radical policies and set China on an irreversible course toward modernization. One way was to pack China's governing institutions with his supporters: on the eve of the anniversary, twelve elderly victims of the Cultural Revolution were elevated to the Central Committee while two other longtime Deng allies, Peng Zhen, 77, and Zhao Ziyang, 61, were added to the select Politburo.
