HOPE PAUL'S trip was a journey to not one world but two. Australia and Asia are divided by more than the geographers' distinction of continents. They are antipodal cultures, the polar extremes that Roman Catholicism must somehow embrace under the same mantle. Australia is the Eastern archetype of much that is new, aggressive and materialistic in Western culture. Asia, comfortable with its own ancient religions, is the far older challenge. It is also an opportunity that Roman Catholicism-ritually more attractive to Asians than Protestantism-has in the past seriously bungled. Of the continent's estimated...
While Pope Paul VI journeyed through Asia to considerable welcome, Britain's Archbishop of Canterbury made a quieter, less congenial trip through the white towns and black "homelands" of the Republic of South Africa. After a 16-day, 3,000-mile journey in the apartheid state, the head of the Anglican Communion was scarcely optimistic. "It would be premature to say that I believe that wrong was going to prevail," said the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Arthur Michael Ramsey in Johannesburg last week. But he saw only two alternatives: "Either violent revolution or a real change in which...
Ringo's two albums serve only to reinforce our previous picture of him: lovable, but (with the exception of his drumming) a thoroughly inept musical personality. His first release.

In Moscow, Russian Novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn called at the Swedish embassy to inform Ambassador Gunnar Jarring that he would not be making the journey to Stockholm. Earlier, the writer had expressed his determination to attend the Nobel festivities Dec. 10, "as far as it depends on me." But denunciations of him in the Soviet press have climaxed in the charge that the writer, a twice-decorated war hero, was a Nazi sympathizer...
...very end of the journey, the car had to be navigated between craters left by bombs and rockets. A wooden ladder leaning across the limestone rock gave access to the cave-hotel, a natural hole in the mountain, "improved" with dynamite. A tiny motor distributed that extremely rare commodity in "liberated Laos": electricity...
