Afternoon by the Bay. A five-man papal inquiry commission soon established that Tardini's and Montini's names had been forged to the orders. Their findings led directly to blond, youngish Monsignor Eduardo Prettner Cippico, a well-born native of Trieste and a Vatican archivist. Though his salary was meager, Cippico owned an 18,000,000-lire apartment in Rome, an Alfa Romeo, a Fiat and a Chrysler. He liked to entertain expensively. The day before Easter last year, waiters at a fashionable restaurant at Posillipo, near Naples, had their hopes of an afternoon off dashed when...
While under investigation, Cippico gave his word not to leave a suite in the Vatican, and a papal gendarme was placed at his door to bar strangers. One evening last week Cippico asked his guard to help him move some books from one room to another. Loading the obliging gendarme's arms with volumes, Cippico held open the door.

From Rome, Papal Secretary Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, the Vatican's expert on Soviet-dominated Europe, announced that Pope Pius had refused Roman Catholic Princess Anne permission to marry her Orthodox king unless both agreed to raise all their children as Roman Catholics...
...week. In 1179 a rich Lyons merchant named Peter Waldo took a vow of poverty and defied the Pope by preaching and interpreting the Bible on his own. Excommunicated as a heretic, Waldo fled to the hills with his followers. For nearly 700 years the Waldenses held out against papal persecution in the valleys of the Cottian Alps. A hundred years ago they were granted religious freedom. But their centennial found today's Waldenses still worried about their status under Italy's present government...
