VATICAN At that world synod of bishops at the Vatican - a cllarge today that Pope Paul is suffering from a communicatio,aa gar,. This - we are told - the re · sult of stilted, obscure and complex language - in the dozens of documents that go out ;,. tire Pope's name every year; instead of maki,ag his views "clea'f' and intelligible," as they should - often leavl11g grav• do11bts as to just wlrat he means. Case in {) · oint - the report goes on: A Vatican document - s e ve,r yea rs in preparatio,r; whe11 it was finally made public - ii went vif'lually u11read anywhere but Ro,,,,; its message - thus falli,rg 011 deaf ea,,. A11d worst of all - • we are told - this parttcular document was addressed sr,ecif ica ll y to the mass media. Now for Lowell Thomas, this is Allen Jackson saying Good Night.
