Herald Tribune, 1935-1966, as a reporter and foreign

interview with an Italian foreign minister, 1960; reports of a Vatican
informant; questionnaires on the Roman Catholic ecumenical movement;
background surveys, interviews, and reports for a 1965 award-winning

Decade in Europe (1959), a printed copy and review of
A Reporter Looks at the Vatican (1962), and articles for
several periodicals. The OPC material includes correspondence,
