...present Communist regime but the World War II, right-wing government in exile, still hanging on in London. This would have embarrassed Wyszynski in his dealings with the Communist government of Wladyslaw Gomulka. But insiders who know the importance of ceremonial minutiae at the Vatican could see tacit support of the exiles for the cardinal in the presence of their spiritual adviser, Archbishop Josef Gawlina, Ordinary to the Poles-in-exile...
Thus an issue which had seemed explosive only two months ago seemed to be gradually subsiding into a tacit acquiescence. As usual, Arab leaders were making suitable protests to satisfy their public.

To bring pressure on the corporation for a change in production quotas, the U.A.W. last week ordered...
...Rule there cannot be which public approbation has not made so." Firm adherence to this principle must be reiterated occasionally.
