...this week's cover story on the Archbishop of Canterbury, the bulk of the London reporting came from Charles Champlin. But it was natural for the London bureau chief to add a few words about the church's role in today's morally troubled Britain. Elson also traveled down to a little village in Dorset, where in a book-lined study that looked like a stage setting for Trollope, he had an engaging interview with the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher.

Diem repeatedly tried to get Thuc transferred to the vacant See of Saigon, but the Vatican, which is distressed by the extent to which Diem's repressive measures have tarnished the image of Catholicism in South Viet Nam, vetoed the suggestion. It has also ignored all hints that Archbishop Thuc might become a cardinal. Thuc is the only one of the brothers whom Mme. Nhu does...
