"Maturity and pressure" WI 1 . 11 MGR. REAVY at this winding-up

conference were two other periti, or Council advisers—Mgr. Dorek Worlock (the regular chairman) and Mgr. Alan Clark. Both supported Mgr. MeReavy's vivws, Mgr. Clark surnmartsing the third session s outstanding features as "maturity and high pressure".
1-rom the point of view of journalists like myself, it was most appropriate that the series ol. Press conferences, at which we have had some top prelatoral "stars", should have been completed by three men who symbolised the colossal work that had gone on not only in the Council Chamber but, day and night, outside it.
In one week. the Hierarchy of England and Wales had ninc meetings on top of the heavy sessions they and their perni had attended in St. Peter's. 'This was the sort of pace that was set throughout the entire 10 weeks' proceedings, and if anyone wondered aloud to any prelate why he was "looking a little tired, if 1 may say so", the somewhat sardonic guffaw which which he was likely to he greeted could certainly he appreciated by those about the place who had some idea of what had been going on.
A very special burden fell upon Mgr. Worlock, as one o( the perni and the secretary to the Hierarchy of England and Wales into the bargain. Whenever I ran into him around the Vatican beat, he was usually either just going to another meeting, or just coming from one.
On top of everything else, he was responsible for having Rorteued the full texts of every speech made by a member of the Hierarchy in the Council, and then distributing these. more frequently than not, himself, to the Englishlanguage journalists at 'their daily briefings.
Anything else that was said for public consumption was also supplied in this way, Mgr. Works& even having Archbishop Heenan's address to Pope Paul at the Shakespearean recital in the Palazzo Pio run off and distributed—by Mgr. Clark, who was his right-hand man this session—before the performance began.
-the whole service provided under Mgr. Worlock's direction came through the Hierarchy of England and Wales Information office, staffed, as it has been Front the beginning of the Council, by members of the Grail over from England for the job.
