Fruits of cooperation; bibliography, glossary, list of documents, index. -- `We have sought to make the documents not only readable by selection and some editing (deletions), but by the narrative techniques of magazine and news feature writing. Within a reasonable, but not always consistent chronology, we have hitched some documents onto others by topical relation, and in certain cases made clear breaks for contrast purposes, when the new section of material could stand as its own "hook" or readability gauge. This is to say we have aimed for readability and continuity in the presentation, to achieve interesting reading as well as essential reference.' (p. xi) -- Statements of approval on the rear panel of the jacket by Richard Cardinal Cushing, Eugene Carson Blake, Joseph Cardinal Ritter, Archbishop Iakovos, Martin E. Marty and James A. Pike.
