...heads Maryland's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Solomon not only turned down the job, but he went out of his way to praise Egeberg. "Dr. Egeberg," he said, "is well qualified to lead the nation in this field if the Administration will only give him adequate support." Others mentioned for the post are Dr. Vernon Wilson, director of HEW's Health Services and Mental Health Administration, and Dr. Charles Edwards, head of the Food and Drug Administration...

On his last afternoon in Manila, Paul traveled to the dilapidated shacks of the city's Tondo slum. There he visited the home of Carlos Navarro, a construction worker who tries to support a wife and eight children on a dollar a day-when he can find work. Before he left Navarro's dirt-floored shack, the Pope slipped $500 into Navarro's pocket. For the astonished Navarro, the money meant at least two years' income. The Pope left...
