...faiths are affected by a growing accommodation between church and state in the officially atheistic nation. Last year's 1,000th-anniversary celebrations greatly enhanced the privileges of the Russian Orthodox Church. This year the long-suffering Jewish community opened its first school for rabbis in 60 years, and Lithuania's Roman Catholics got their first full lineup of bishops in 40 years. A similar renewal is taking place among the 55 million Muslims, who constitute the world's fifth largest Islamic population (after Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India).

Among them: Anglican Leader Robert Runcie, the Archbishop of Canterbury, American Evangelist Billy Graham, and no fewer than nine Cardinals...
...Strauss, former head of the Democratic National Committee, was the guest last week for the 2,000th Sperling Breakfast, a capital institution of high cholesterol and high-powered talk. He sat down, eyed his journalistic adversaries and said, "You're being a little harsh, more than a little harsh, on the presidential candidates.
