...many Lambeth conferees, the question was less whether women ought to be made priests than how to preserve unity within the church and ecumenism without. Some diehards held that female Apostles were absent from Scripture and that since priests who administer the Sacrament represent Christ, they should be, like him, male. Objected the Rev. Elizabeth Weisner of Washington, B.C., one of some 150 women who have already been ordained: "A priest is a priest is a priest. The Sacrament is unchanged by the person celebrating it." A bigger stumbling block was opposition from the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches...
...filmed; the pictures may prove an important point. Some doctors had observed that if Lesley's fallopian tubes were intact, Steptoe would not have irrefutable proof that Louise was conceived in a test tube. But, Steptoe said with evident satisfaction, "I was able to show that the tubes were absent." Lesley, he explained, had had an operation in 1970 to clear her blocked tubes?but with no success. After she was referred to Steptoe in 1976, he did an exploratory operation and found "there were mere remnants of her tubes." Because these remnants blocked his access to the ova, Steptoe...

But when Judge Barbaro read the verdict, as more than 800 carabinieri and other police ringed the courthouse, the defendants were absent from the steel-barred cage in which they had been kept during the proceedings. They had all elected to remain in their cells as a protest against what they called a "court of the regime...
...surprise, was Holland, an erratic but courageous crew much faded from its splendor of 1974, when the Dutch lit up the World Cup before losing valorously, 2-1, to the Germans in the final at Munich. The other was, and had to be, the wonderfully likable Argentine team, absent-minded on defense (as the Dutch themselves were), rough and rowdy at both ends of the field and a raging if sometimes patternless force on offense...
