- <p> The pastoral letter read out in Catholic churches last month
- was direct. "In our society we are aware of a growing gap between
- rich and poor," it said. "Bribery and nepotism are growing." In
- Malawi, where President-for-Life Hastings Kamuzu Banda has ruled
- with an iron hand for 28 years, tolerating no dissent,
- congregations were rocked in their pews.

- <p> Banda hit back. The authors--an Archbishop, five bishops
- and a monsignor--were interrogated and reportedly placed
- under house arrest at the Archbishop's residence. Though free
- now, the clerics stay with friends at night for greater safety.
- Aid-donor countries are likely to ask for an explanation at a
- meeting next month.
