...Treason. Many appointments reflected Paul's special churchly concerns-most notably, union with Orthodoxy. Heading the list of new cardinals were three leaders of Oriental-rite churches that form a bridge between Rome and the East. Stephanos I Sidarouss is Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria. Lebanon's Paul Peter Meouchi is leader of the Maronite Christians.

The Russians, mostly as sobersided as Military Attaché Vassily Popov, who keeps his watch on Moscow time, charge one another with high treason. The Americans, generally as collegiate as Atherton (his qualifications: Princeton courses in "Great Ideas of the West" and "Great Ideas of the East"), try to turn it into low comedy.
