...Pope apologizes for what he said," says Padovese. "But I read into this request a kind of triumphalism - to see the Church and Christians and the Pope say out loud that they were wrong." Padovese spoke by phone from the parish in the Black Sea coastal city of Trebizond, where in February Father Andrea Santoro was killed by a young Muslim man in an apparently religiously motivated attack. Two other Catholic clergy members have been the victims of attacks in Turkey over the past several months. The Vatican said the Pope did not intend the remarks - which he made during...
Authorities in the ancient Black Sea port of Trebizond, Turkey, bustled about excitedly last week as the Soviet Aeroflot AN-24 craft circled for an unscheduled landing. After all, few foreign planes ever land in the small (pop. 66,000) market town. Excitement soon turned to consternation as frantic passengers scrambled out the rear door and two bloodied pilots staggered from the front of the plane. Both had been wounded by gunshots.

Moscow is not likely to let the Turks forget...

Died. Dame Rose Macaulay, 77, British novelist (Potterism, The World My Wilderness, The Towers of Trebizond), essayist, satirist; of a heart attack soon after signing a telegram from British writers to the Union of Soviet Writers protesting the expulsion of Nobel Prizewinner Boris Pasternak (see FOREIGN NEWS) ; in London. Spinster daughter of a Cambridge don and distant kin to Historian Thomas Babington Macaulay, Dame Rose was raised in Italy, where her mother had been sent for her health. The sunny freedom of a girlhood on the Ligurian coast prepared her for anything but the spiny conventionalities of the traditional education...
