Christians worldwide engaged in Good Friday services ushering in Easter weekend. Pilgrims retraced Christ's steps in Jerusalem while Pope Paul VI in Rome led noon Mass and a Way of the Cross procession. The Pope washed feet of 12 children, spoke of reviving Jesus’s remembered hospitality, and hundreds received communion.

Peace Pact May Be Coming Apart
The United States signaled possible unraveling of the Paris peace accord with Hanoi through three moves: suspending North Vietnamese minesweeping, recalling the U.S. delegate to Paris reconstruction talks, and warning that aid would be cut if North Vietnam fails to honor the pact. Washington pressed North Vietnam to stop infil trations, withdraw troops from Cambodia and Laos, amid heightened bombing and limited concessions. Hanoi called the mine suspension a delay tactic, while Paris confirmed Williams’ recall. The dispute casts doubt on the joint economic commission and postwar reconstruction role in North Vietnam.
