Castro's longtime critics agree that the regime's economy is in serious trouble. Pointing to a severe labor shortage, excessive absenteeism, low productivity and a woeful lack of modern machinery, a U.S. Government analyst said last week: "Something is radically wrong-wrong priorities, wrong emphasis, wrong administration-in short, chaos." Castro admits as much in his speeches. Last year, for example, he told the nation: "Our enemies say that we have problems, and in reality they are right.

...despite considerable social concern among the younger Catholic clergy since World War II, the hierarchy, especially Rufino Cardinal Santos, is too closely identified with the Establishment. To a growing number of critics, the church is still the handmaiden of riches and privilege.

In a poll taken shortly before the Pope's visit, 60% of those interviewed did not know who the Pope...

...luck hardly played a factor in Yale's 5-0 loss to slow-starting Boston University four days later. So it seems that the only conclusion one can logically draw from the Bulldog's 5-15 record, their recent losses to Brown; Princeton and Army, and their woeful lack of consistency is that Gagliardi has rashly overestimated the quality of his material...
