Local courts soon acquitted or dismissed the charges against nearly all the defendants. But the Justice Department used the incident as a reason to investigate a nascent radical group called the Seattle Liberation Front. Last spring FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover personally announced federal indictments against eight S.L.F. members. Though none of them had been arrested at the demonstration, all were charged with conspiring to damage federal property; five were also accused of crossing state lines with the intention of causing a riot. It was the Government's first use, since the Chicago trial, of the 1968 federal antiriot...
...received like a high chieftain. He rode through groves of mango and breadfruit under 66 arches woven of wood fibers, flowers, vines and leaves. At the church of St. Anne at Leulumoega, a quiet, respectful crowd presented the Pope with a huge roast pig after he said Mass. Though only four hours long, the Samoan visit seemed to bear out the "Message to Asia" that the Pope had broadcast before leaving Manila. "The church cannot be foreign to any nation or people," he said. "It is held to be incarnate in each climate, culture and race. It must plunge...
...contrast there was a chiding note in the Pope's major address to some 200,000 worshipers at Sydney's Randwick Racecourse later in the week.

Paul had already made his real peroration earlier that day in Hong Kong. His major address in the Crown Colony was studiously unpolitical, though he addressed it to "all the Chinese people wherever they may be." In a sense, it might have been addressed to all those who wondered what the Pope was doing so far from Rome in the first place. "There comes to this Far Eastern land, for the first time in history, the humble apostle of Christ that we are," noted Paul. "And what does he say? Why does he come...
...approaches the total number on Taiwan. In all Asian countries, more and more members of both the clergy and the hierarchy are being successfully recruited from the local population. Nowhere except in Communist China does the church face official persecution, and in some places it receives unexpected encouragement. Though progress is slow in Moslem Indonesia (about 2,000,000 Catholics out of a population of 120 million), missionary kindnesses to the late President Sukarno in his rebel days have long since paid off in a public policy that goes well beyond toleration: Catholic clerics may even teach religion...
