John Paul topped off his Chicago visit with still another Mass, this time in Grant Park, scene of pitched battles between police and anti-Viet Nam War protesters eleven years ago. A crowd of 500,000 transformed it on Friday into something more like the site of a love...
Some people waited as long as eleven hours on Boston Common (everywhere in the U.S., John Paul ran late) and were thoroughly drenched. From the fringes of the throng, the brilliantly lit platform and altar looked like an ethereal spaceship radiating warmth. Many people back in the crowd had the strange experience of first listening to cheers for the Pope on their transistor radios and then hearing the actual sound following through the air like an echo.

The recording was made in June when the Pope returned to Cracow, Poland, to take part in the sacred-music festival he had founded eleven years earlier as Karol Cardinal Wojtyla.

In the name of social progress, it promises free universal education and the restoration...
...defections that began with the Bolshoi could become an epidemic among the hundreds of athletes who will soon go abroad for international pre-Olympic competitions. Last week party officials were preparing to give prospective travelers special indoctrination lectures. A more forceful method of ensuring loyalty is in store for eleven Soviet boxers who are scheduled to compete in the World Cup Championship matches at New York City's Madison Square Garden this month. Instead of two trainers, as is customary, 18 security men in the guise of coaches will literally stand guard over their athletes...
