Venice welcomed its 44th patriarch and 139th bishop with a gala flotilla of gondolas, and Cardinal Roncalli welcomed Venice with something that sounded like a sigh of relief. In his first sermon from the pulpit of St. Mark's he said: "Do not look upon your patriarch as a politician, as a diplomat, but find in him a priest...
...text of Canon Collins' sermon was "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me," but the throng in London's St. Paul's Cathedral had come to hear another voice. Too big for his brown suit, Baritone Paul Robeson began with pix Crossing Over Jordan, sent a series of wild melodies booming through the cathedral in the first recital of secular songs in the history of St. Paul's.

Outside the Baptist Church, a hundred or so people were standing in the sun, greeting each other, discussing the sermon-and other matters, including Lebanon and even Hungary-while a cop on the corner twirled his stick and whistled. I was told of, but did not see, leaflets which have appeared criticizing government policies. The Lubianka, the huge secret police building where in the '30s the lights burned most of every night, now looks nearly deserted, and, indeed, people...
