II was not known what the
Pope and the Adzhubeis talked
about. Vatican custom is not TO
disclose details Of the Pope'S
conversations with private
audiences.
But a Vatican source said
the meeting was informal. He
said the Pope greeted the
Adzhubeis at the door Of the
library and Mr.. Adzhubei bowed
and shook hands with the
Pope. They then sat In chairs
placed informally In a corner
Of the room, rather than at the
pontiff's desk.
